“…about the relevance of rCTDs and their health-related, organizational and economic burden. Rare and complex diseases, and rCTDs in particular, should always occupy an important place in the agenda of health-care policy makers, and the expense — continuous and systematic — allocated to health care in this area should be considered an investment and not a cost 33 . The second direction is to invest in cross-border European infrastructure for the management of rare and complex diseases, which will already be in place for when emergencies happen.…”

“…The novel coronavirus pandemic has hit the global economy and societies on an unprecedented scale since the Great Depression (1929)(1930)(1931)(1932)(1933), and is epidemically compared to the Spanish flu of the 1918 (Barro et al 2020;Laing 2020). The scientists refer to the COVID-19 pandemic as the giant black swan phenomenon (Goodell 2020;Mazzoleni et al 2020;Wind et al 2020).…”

Decline in Mobility: Public Transport in Poland in the time of the COVID-19 Pandemic

2020

The aim of the paper is to assess changes in mobility in public transport in Poland, as a consequence of the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. We analyse the problem from the country and regional (voivodeships) perspective. The data come from Google COVID19 Community Mobility Reports, the Ministry of Health of Poland, and the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker. The research covers the period between 2 March and 19 July 2020. The obtained results show that there is negative but insignificant relationship between human mobility changes in public transport and the number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases in Poland. The strength and statistical significance of the correlation varies substantially across voivodeships. As far as the relationship between changes in mobility in public transport and the stringency of Polish government’s anti-COVID-19 policy is concerned, the results confirm a strong, negative and significant correlation between analysed variables at the national and regional level. Moreover, based on one factor variance analysis (ANOVA) and the Tukey’s honest significance test (Tukey’s HSD test) we indicate that there are significant differences observed regarding the changes in mobility in public transport depending on the level of stringency of anti-COVID-19 regulation policy both in Poland and all voivodeships. The results might indicate that the forced lockdown to contain the development of the COVID-19 pandemic has effectively contributed to social distancing in public transport in Poland and that government restrictions, rather than a local epidemic status, induce a greater decrease in mobility.

“…In critical care echocardiograph, after the scanning, the devices were kept in a room for UV and air disinfection [32]. Mazzoleni et al reported that for noncontact UV surface disinfection, self-directed or remote-controlled robots can be used for disease prevention [33]. In the center of diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, Lyu et al proposed that before the next surgery, use UV disinfection for about 15-20 min [34].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) originated in bats and human-to-human transmission through respiratory droplets and contact with surfaces of infected aerosol are the main ways of transmitting this virus. Until now, there is no effective pharmaceutical treatment; conclusively it is important to evaluate the types of applied disinfectants in different areas against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19. The aim of this review was to summarize the information about environmental disinfection for preventing of COVID-19. We performed a review of the science direct database to find articles providing information on disinfection used for SARS-CoV-2. The extracted results were given the original data on inactivation coronaviruses by disinfectants in different places of health care facilities. The final search recognized that five groups of disinfectants include: chlorine containing disinfectants, alcohol, UV irradiation, Hydrogen peroxide, and other disinfectant were used against SARS-CoV-2 in different environments. Among these groups, bleach (chlorine containing disinfectants) has the most applicability. Also, in many studies by using disinfectants with 62–71% ethanol can reduce coronavirus in contaminated areas. Furthermore, after the using of operating room for COVID-19 patients, hydrogen peroxide and UV irradiation should be used for 24 h before it can be used again. The povidone-iodine or the chlorhexidine, could be recommended when there is a risk of SARS-CoV-2 contamination especially for open wounds. According to the different studies on SARS-CoV-2 disinfection, because of the SARS-CoV-2 can remain in the air and on surfaces, as well as observing individual disinfection guidelines in different hospital areas, disinfection of surfaces is necessary to decrease SARS-CoV-2 spreading. Moreover, the most suggested disinfectants have been limited to bleach and alcohol, it’s better to be considered the potential of other disinfectants in different areas.
