“…27 Possessing largest average quantity of beds, Heilongjiang holds a lower level of the accumulative Science and Technology Evaluation Metrics of Chinese hospital, 42 which has aggravated the negative impact of medical resources shortage during COVID-19 epidemic. Although there is precedent in China for the rapid and efficient establishment of mobile hospitals to increase bed capacity during an epidemic, 43 it would be strenuous for this strategy to solve the problem once a nationwide, mega-volume of excess hospitalizations are advent within a short span of time.…”

With a large population most susceptible to Omicron and emerging SARS‐CoV‐2 variants, China faces uncertain scenarios if reopening its border. Thus, we aimed to predict the impact of combination preventative interventions on hospitalization and death. An age‐stratified susceptible‐infectious‐quarantined‐hospitalized‐removed‐susceptible (SIQHRS) model based on the new guidelines of COVID‐19 diagnosis and treatment (the ninth edition) was constructed to simulate the transmission dynamics of Omicron within 365 days. At baseline, we assumed no interventions other than 60% booster vaccination in individuals aged ≤60 years and 80% in individuals aged >60 years, quarantine and hospitalization. Oral antiviral medications for COVID‐19 and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing and antigen self‐testing were considered in subsequent scenarios. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to reflect different levels of interventions. A total of 0.73 billion cumulative quarantines (95% CI 0.53–0.83), 33.59 million hospitalizations (22.41–39.31), and 0.62 million deaths (0.40–0.75) are expected in 365 days. The case fatality rate with pneumonia symptoms (moderate, severe and critical illness) is expected to be 1.83% (1.68–1.99%) and the infected fatality rate is 0.38‰ (0.33–0.4‰). The highest existing hospitalization and ICU occupations are 3.11 (0.30–3.85) and 20.33 (2.01–25.20) times of capacity, respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that interventions can be adjusted to meet certain conditions to reduce the total number of infections and deaths. In conclusion, after sufficient respiratory and ICU beds are prepared and the relaxed NPIs are in place, the SARS‐CoV‐2 Omicron variant would not seriously impact the health system.

“…Prior studies have found that strengthening basic public services, particularly the equitable distribution of medical resources, was conducive not only to the promotion of inclusive growth (Saniya et al 2021 ) but also to the reduction of CO 2 emissions and, therefore, the promotion of green growth (Faik et al 2021 ). Further, unhealthy interactions among IGG subsystems may lead to coronavirus transmission, and the discrepancy between medical demand and expenditure has increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (Zhang 2021 ). In practice, evidence can also be found.…”

Inclusive green growth (IGG) offers an effective alternative to pursue sustainable development. The core of the IGG system lies in the coordination of inclusive, green, and growth subsystems. However, there is little quantitative assessment on IGG based on subsystem collaboration. This study proposes a holistic scheme of inclusive-green-growth nexus in Anhui province from 2009 to 2018 by using an integrated approach, namely, the entropy weight approach (EWA), coupling coordination degree model (CCDM), grey prediction model (GPM), and obstacle factor diagnostic model (OFDM). The results show that: (1) The proposed integrated approach could be viable to measure the synergistic interactions among internal IGG subsystems; (2) At the provincial level, a relatively high IGG performance but a low coupling coordination degree (CCD) of the IGG nexus are seen. Although the predicted value of CCD will show an upward trend, it will not be able to cross the start stage. The obstacle factors on the coordinated development of IGG can be divided into two stages: (3) At the prefectural level, the cities in which CCD is rising outnumber those it is falling. However, the CCD is also low, and the gap between cities is getting wider. The obstacles that affect the CCD of cities see a dynamic evolution trend from “inclusive obstacle type” to “inclusive and growth obstacle type” then to “green obstacle type” over the decade.

“…Findings from the study highlighted the importance of establishing a sustainable primary medical system that meets demands. A robust primary medical system can minimize complications and fatalities caused by the COVID-19 crisis (Schmidt et al, 2022; P. F. Zhang, 2021). This system should actively monitor the dynamic pandemic situation, e ciently execute contact tracing and quarantine measures, implement follow-up and monitoring of patients to support safe home care, and facilitate the rapid referral of the most severe or deteriorating cases to hospitals.…”

Background The widespread outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant threat to human health. In the context of Healthy China, enhancing residents' health performance is an inevitable choice to promote the equalization of public medical and health services. Methods This article utilized online survey data, employs the O-probit model and Health Equity Gap Model to empirically analyze the relationship between COVID-19 infection, the medical insurance system, and health equity. Results Findings revealed that as of mid-January 2023, the nationwide infection rate of COVID-19 in China is 82.34%, with 24.86% of respondents reporting the loss of relatives or friends, and the average age of death being 71.30 years old. In terms of impact of COVID-19, Chinese residents are most concerned about the future impact of COVID-19 on their health and work. Compared to the Urban-Rural Resident Medical Insurance in China, the Urban Employee Medical Insurance is more effective in alleviating the negative impact of COVID-19 infection on residents' health, especially for middle-aged and elderly individuals, rural residents, those with chronic diseases, and in the eastern regions of China. Urban Employee Medical Insurance improves residents' health by influencing their drug purchase amount and outpatient visits following the impact of COVID-19. If Chinese residents receive the same treatment as Urban Employee Medical Insurance, their health would improve by 0.240 units, equivalent to 56.21% of the actual health gap between different medical insurance coverage groups. Conclusions Compared to the Urban-Rural Resident Medical Insurance, the Urban Employee Medical Insurance is more effective in mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 infection on residents' health. Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, different medical insurance systems have widened the health gap between urban employees and rural residents.
