“…Given the breadth of information reviewed, including over 1800 peer-reviewed and preprint articles, we did not conduct a formal population-intervention-control-outcome systematic review. Moreover, there were several areas not covered in this review, including vaccine-preventable diseases[161], non-communicable diseases[162, 163], specific health effects among migrant communities[164], violence[165], and mental health[166]. Preliminary data suggest effects across all these areas, including reports of increased domestic violence, decreases in childhood vaccinations, and increases in mortality and morbidity because of acute mental health stressors and substance use.…”

BackgroundCOVID-19 has rapidly emerged as a global public health threat with infections recorded in nearly every country. Responses to COVID-19 have varied in intensity and breadth, but generally have included domestic and international travel limitations, closure of non-essential businesses, and repurposing of health services. While these interventions have focused on testing, treatment, and mitigation of COVID-19, there have been reports of interruptions to diagnostic, prevention, and treatment services for other public health threats. We conducted a scoping review to characterize the impact of COVID-19 on HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, sexual and reproductive health, and malnutrition.MethodsA scoping literature review was completed using searches of PubMed and preprint servers (medRxiv/bioRxiv) from January 1st to October 31st, 2020, using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms related to SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 and HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, sexual and reproductive health, and malnutrition. Empiric studies reporting original data collection and mathematical models were included, and available data synthesized by region. Studies were excluded if they were not written in English.ResultsA total of 1604 published papers and 205 preprints met inclusion criteria, including 8.2% (132/1604) of published studies and 10.2% (21/205) of preprints: 7.3% (68/931) on HIV, 7.1% (24/339) on tuberculosis, 11.6% (26/224) on malaria, 7.8% (13/166) on sexual and reproductive health, and 12.1% (16/132) on malnutrition. Thematic results were similar across competing health risks, with substantial indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and response on diagnostic, prevention, and treatment services for HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, sexual and reproductive health, and malnutrition.DiscussionCOVID-19 emerged in the context of existing public health threats that result in millions of deaths every year. Thus, effectively responding to COVID-19 while minimizing the negative impacts of COVID-19 necessitates innovation and integration of existing programs that are often siloed across health systems. Inequities have been a consistent driver of existing health threats; COVID-19 has worsened disparities, reinforcing the need for programs that address structural risks. Data reviewed here suggest that effective strengthening of health systems should include investment in public health with adequate funding to ensure continuity of care for emergent and existing public health threats.

“…This behavior has also affected tourists' minds from the Chinese community ( Duan et al., 2020 ; Ferree et al., 2021 ; Mejia et al., 2021 ; Ransing et al., 2020 ). The pandemic has also affected marital life, and numerous studies have reported domestic violence issues globally ( Abbas et al., 2020 ; Piquero et al., 2021 ; Gulati and Kelly, 2020 ; Noman et al., 2021 ). Religiosity levels among people have helped to maintain marital satisfaction ( Aman et al., 2019 ; Khoo et al., 2021 ).…”

The study stipulates phases to observe the proposed mechanism in formulating the travel and leisure industry's recovery strategies. The present pandemic COVID-19 has resulted in global challenges, economic and healthcare crises, and posed spillover impacts on the global industries, including tourism and travel that the major contributor to the service industry worldwide. The tourism and leisure industry has faced the COVID-19 tourism impacts hardest-hit and lies among the most damaged global industries. The leisure and internal tourism indicated a steep decline amounting to 2.86 trillion US dollars, which quantified more than 50% revenue losses. In the first step, the study explores the consequences and settings of the COVID-19 pandemic and how innovation and change can contribute to the tourism industry's revival to the next normal. Thus, the study determines that tourism enterprises and scholars must consider and change the basic principles, main assumptions, and organizational situations related to research and practice framework through rebuilding and establishing the tourism sector. In the second step, the study discusses direct COVID-19 tourism impacts, attitudes, and practices in gaining the leisure industry's boom and recovery. In the third phase, the study proposes to observe the characteristics and COVID-19 tourism consequences on the travel and tourism research. The findings provide insights in regaining the tourism industry's operational activities and offer helpful suggestions to government officials, scholars, and tourism firms to reinvest in the tourism industry to set it back to a normal position.

“…The efforts to contain the virus are vital to protect global health, but expose women, children and adolescents to an increased risk of family violence. The rise in reports of domestic abuse and family violence have increased around the world since social isolation and quarantine measures came into force: 300% in China, 50% in Brazil, 30% in Cyprus, France, and New Zealand, 25% in the United Kingdom (UK), and 20% in Spain (Noman et al 2021). Usher et al (2020) also review the evidence in an intimate partner, women, and children violence due to isolation and quarantine in different countries, and highlights that France began commissioning hotels as shelters for those fleeing abuse.…”

Changes in Behaviour Induced by COVID-19: Obedience to the Introduced Measures

The pandemic of COVID-19 that has plagued our planet since the beginning of 2020, has disrupted the way of life of society in general. As in other pandemics suffered throughout history, isolation has been a crucial measure to avoid contagion, causing effects beyond health, in many areas of life. How society obtains economic resources, spends them, enjoys leisure, or simply interacts, is now different. The political and economic context has changed, freedom of movements and expectations are also different. All this generates changes in the behaviour of society that does not react uniformly in all countries. This chapter reviews some of the modifications in behaviour caused by the present circumstances, as what will happen in future pandemics is not predictable for sure. The emphasis is placed on obedience observed in different contexts to imposed restrictions. Homes have become workplaces, consumption patterns have changed, and the derived effects are not always beneficial or distributed equally across the social strata.
