“…The spread of COVID-19 in Slovakia, as depicted in the spatiotemporal maps across different age groups, can be attributed to several factors. Initially, the emergence of isolated clusters in major urban centers such as Bratislava and Košice suggests that the virus was likely introduced through international travel connections, a common pathway for global early infections [ 13 , 14 ]. As the pandemic progressed, factors such as population density, mobility within and between regions, and social interactions likely facilitated the virus’s spread to urban and rural neighboring districts [ 15 ].…”

Background and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant global impact, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its spatiotemporal patterns. The objective of this study is to explore the spatial and temporal patterns of COVID-19 infections among five age groups (<1, 1–4, 5–9, 10–14, and 15–19 years) in 72 districts of Slovakia on a quarterly basis from March 2020 to July 2022. Material and Methods: During the study period, a total of 393,429 confirmed PCR cases of COVID-19 or positive antigen tests were recorded across all studied age groups. The analysis examined the spatiotemporal spread of COVID infections per quarter, from September 2021 to May 2022. Additionally, data on hospitalizations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, pulmonary ventilation (PV), and death cases were analyzed. Results: The highest number of COVID-19 infections occurred between September 2021 and May 2022, particularly in the 10–14-year-old group (68,695 cases), followed by the 15–19-year-old group (62,232 cases), while the lowest incidence was observed in the <1-year-old group (1235 cases). Out of the total confirmed PCR cases, 18,886 individuals required hospitalization, 456 needed ICU admission, 402 received pulmonary ventilation, and only 16 died. The analysis of total daily confirmed PCR cases for all regions showed two major peaks on 12 December 2021 (6114 cases) and 1 February 2022 (3889 cases). Spatial mapping revealed that during December 2021 to February 2022, the highest number of infections in all age groups were concentrated mainly in Bratislava. Moreover, temporal trends of infections within each age group, considering monthly and yearly variations, exhibited distinct spatial patterns, indicating localized outbreaks in specific regions. Conclusions: The spatial and temporal patterns of COVID-19 infections among different age groups in Slovakia showed a higher number of infections in the 10–14-year-old age group, mainly occurring in urban districts. The temporal pattern of the spread of the virus to neighboring urban and rural districts reflected the movement of infected individuals. Hospitalizations, ICU and PV admissions, and deaths were relatively low. The study highlights the need for more proactive measures to contain outbreaks promptly and ensure the resilience of healthcare systems against future pandemics.

“…Ente las medidas de mayor frecuencia adoptadas por los gobernantes estuvieron el confinamiento, cuarentena, el toque de queda, el cese temporal de actividades comerciales no esenciales, cierre de fronteras, restricciones a la movilidad interna, cierre de instituciones educativas, entre otras. Medidas que generaron un efecto adverso en la economía tales como, reducción de ingresos, incremento de pobreza y expansión de la inequidad (25). Empero de la causa común de la crisis mundial, la pandemia COVID-19, los factores inherentes a cada región implicaron efectos socioeconómicos diversos.…”

Ya que al afrontar un shock por el cese de operaciones productivas y contracción inminente de la oferta se genera una complicación económica en toda la población lo que potenciado por la indisponibilidad de información asociada a la evolución del virus forma una característica subyacente a la economía, la incertidumbre (25).…”

The world urgently requires exit strategies for the pandemic generated by COVID-19, it is an event that has generated a standstill at a social and economic level, accompanied by a breakdown of global public health, itself a contemporary catastrophe. This research aims to analyze the battery of exit strategies reported in the literature from the perspective of both the State and the private company. Considering the origin of the pandemic, its effects and economic perspective. This work was developed based on a literature review in scientific journals indexed in global and regional databases, under a non-experimental descriptive approach. Among the main results of this research, the need for joint and active State-Company participation was determined, as well as the opportunity to implement exit strategies successfully applied in other territories, but under the premise of adapting them to the national reality. Keywords: exit strategies, government, business, COVID-19. Resumen El mundo requiere con urgencia estrategias de salida para la pandemia generada por el COVID-19, es un evento que ha generado un parón a nivel social y económico, acompañado de una descomposición de la salud pública global, en sí una hecatombe contemporánea. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la batería de estrategias de salida reportadas en la literatura bajo una perspectiva tanto del Estado como de la empresa privada. Considerando el origen de la pandemia, sus efectos y perspectiva económica. Este trabajo se desarrolló en función de una revisión de literatura en revistas científicas indexadas en bases de datos mundiales y regionales, bajo un enfoque descriptivo no experimental. Entre los principales resultados de esta investigación se determinaron la necesidad de la participación conjunta y activa Estado-Empresa, así como la oportunidad de implementar estrategias de salida aplicadas exitosamente en otros territorios, pero bajo la premisa de adaptarlas a la realidad nacional. Palabras Clave: Estrategias de salida, Estado, Empresa, COVID-19.

“…The global confirmed infection cases of COVID-19 have increased more rapidly since the beginning of the year 2022 than 2020 and 2021. There are many factors contributing to the COVID-19 spread, such as social contact 1 – 4 and violation of social distancing rules 5 , 6 , built environment and transportation factors 7 – 9 , socio-economic factors 10 , and meteorological factors 11 . There is further direct evidence showing a strong correlation between the number of coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2) and local bat species richness (on average, 2.7 coronaviruses harbored by each bat species) in Yunnan province of China and neighboring regions in Myanmar and Laos, which are shown to form a global hotspot of climate change-driven increase in bat richness 12 .…”

This study investigates urban recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic by focusing on three main types of working, commercial, and night-life activities and associating them with land use and inherent socio-economic patterns as well as points of interests (POIs). Massive multi-source and multi-scale data include mobile phone signaling data (500 m × 500 m), aerial images (0.49 m × 0.49 m), night light satellite data (500 m × 500 m), land use data (street-block), and POIs data. Methods of convolutional neural network, guided gradient-weighted class activation mapping, bivariate local indicator of spatial association, Elbow and K-means are jointly applied. It is found that the recovery in central areas was slower than in suburbs, especially in terms of working and night-life activities, showing a donut-shaped spatial pattern. Residential areas with mixed land uses seem more resilient to the pandemic shock. More than 60% of open spaces are highly associated with recovery in areas with high-level pre-pandemic social-economic activities. POIs of sports and recreation are crucial to the recovery in all areas, while POIs of transportation and science/culture are also important to the recovery in many areas. Policy implications are discussed from perspectives of open spaces, public facilities, neighborhood units, spatial structures, and anchoring roles of POIs.
