Background Unprecedented lockdown measures have been introduced in countries worldwide to mitigate the spread and consequences of COVID-19. Although attention has focused on effects these epidemiological indicators relating directly infection, there is increased recognition their broader health implications. However, assessing implications real time a challenge, due limitations existing syndromic surveillance data tools. Objective The aim this study explore added value mobile phone app–based...

Background The UNAIDS Modes of Transmission (UNAIDSMoT) model is increasingly being used to inform national-level HIV priority setting. Although the simple use, important factors may be omitted. Using UNAIDSMoT model, with Uganda and Cambodia as case studies, we explored influence incorporation additional factors. Methods A detailed review was conducted, including reviewing structure, data requirements, parameters assumptions. Country-specific literature reviews were undertaken, along field...

While retrospective analyses and modeling studies confirmed that severe restrictions social contacts, i.e., lockdowns, are most reducing transmission SARS-CoV-2, they incur large economic costs mental health risks. Earlier detection cases has also proposed as an method control, but so far...
