“…Epidemic outbreaks have been historically accompanied by stigma, discrimination, and xenophobia, leading to psychological harm to individuals in the epicenter [ 4 ]. Such stigma and discrimination were quite evident among college students in Wuhan since China was the first country afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and Wuhan was the first epicenter of the unprecedented global health crisis [ 1 , 2 ].…”

“…Apart from physical health, mental health was equally crucial and worthy of attention. Epidemic outbreaks have been historically accompanied by stigma, discrimination, and xenophobia [ 3 ], leading to psychological harm to individuals in the epicenter [ 4 ]. Previous studies have elucidated a few interactions of these psychological issues.…”

Outbreaks of an epidemic, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), always brings about far-ranging discrimination and stigmatization to the epicenter. This was a cross-sectional survey conducted to assess experienced discrimination, internalized stigma, shame, and mental health (anxiety, depression, distress, insomnia) among college students who merely had a perceived linkage with COVID-19, and explore the linkage between discrimination and negative mental health outcomes through the mediating effects of shame and internalized stigma. A total of 995 participants (53% female) were involved in this study, in which 40.9% of college students were reported to be discriminated against because of their experience in Wuhan. The experience of COVID-19-related discrimination is indirectly associated with anxiety, depression, and insomnia, in which shame and internalized stigma play a complete mediating effect. Meanwhile, it is both directly and indirectly associated with distress through shame and internalized stigma. The findings of this study suggest that COVID-19-related discrimination is associated with shame and internalized stigma, which in turn predict psychological symptoms over time.

As can be seen in was a substantial disparity between those who died (9 days, IQR [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]) and those who survived (6 days, IQR [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]) in the median LOS.

“…In fact, the total number of individuals registered with COVID-19 was 1560 in two hospitals. There is shame in cultures regarding infection with COVID-19 (22,23). This stigma and fear of future follow-up led a minority of people to write incorrect addresses in their medical records.…”

Background: Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 infection has converted to a severe threat to global health. It is now considered as the fifth worldwide pandemic problem. This study aims to explore spatial-time distribution of COVID-19 in the first outbreak of COVID-19 in the second major city of Iran (Mashhad). The results will pave the way for better tracking of COVID-19.Methods: Data were collected from two tertiary hospitals in Mashhad in June 2020. They included demographic findings and residential address of the patients with confirmed COVID-19 disease by polymerase chain reaction test. The univariate logistic regression model was used to assess the influence of age and sex on mortality. For spatial-time analysis, after calculating empirical Bayesian rate for every neighborhood, the local Moran's I statistic was used to quantify spatial autocorrelation of COVID-19 frequency at the city neighborhood level.Results: Of 1,535 confirmed cases of COVID-19 included in this study, 951 (62%) were male. Odds of death for patients over 60 years of age was more than three times higher (odds ratio [OR]: 3.7, CI [2.8-4.8]) than for those under the 60 years. In addition, the ratio of relative mortality for male patients was significantly higher than the female (OR: 1.58, CI [1.2-2]). The univariate regression model also revealed that odds of death increased along with increase in duration of hospitalization secondary to COVID-19 disease (OR: 1.02, IQR [1.01-1.02]). The downtown area had a significant high-high cluster throughout much of the study period (March-May 2020). Conclusions: Collection of geographic information system (GIS) map data on SARS-CoV-2 provides insight into clusters of infection and high risk places for COVID-19 transmission. GIS-
