Pre-emptive school closures are frontline community mitigation measures recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implementation during severe pandemics. This study describes spatiotemporal patterns of publicly announced implemented in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic assesses how public K-12 districts adjusted their methods education delivery provision subsidized meals. During February 18–June 30, 2020, we used daily systematic media...
Beginning in January 2021, the U.S. government prioritized ensuring continuity of learning for all students during COVID-19 pandemic (1). To estimate extent COVID-19-associated school disruptions, CDC and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory used a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) (2) statistical approach to most likely actual modality based on patterns observed past data, accounting conflicting or missing information systematic Internet searches (3) COVID-19-related closures. This...
Abstract Background In early 2020, following the start of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, institutions higher education (IHEs) across United States rapidly pivoted to online learning reduce risk on-campus virus transmission. We explored IHEs’ use this and other nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during subsequent pandemic-affected academic year 20202021. Methods From December 2020 June 2021, we collected publicly available data from official webpages 847 IHEs, including all...
Introduction Outside of pandemics, there is little information about occurrence prolonged unplanned K-12 school closures (PUSC). We describe here the reasons, characteristics, and patterns PUSC in United States during 8 consecutive inter-pandemic academic years, 2011–2019. Methods From August 1, 2011 through June 30, 2019, daily systematic online searches were conducted to collect data on publicly announced lasting ≥1 days States. Closures categorized as when schools closed for ≥5...
BackgroundWhile numerous studies explore pandemic-associated school closures, literature is scant regarding seasonal influenza-associated closures. We previously reported summaries on COVID-19 pandemic-related closures in the United States (US), which affected virtually all schools nation. The current prospective study aims to address knowledge gap for influenza-related States.MethodsWe conducted systematic daily online searches from August 1, 2011 June 30, 2022, identify public...
Schools close in reaction to seasonal influenza outbreaks and, on occasion, pandemic influenza. The unintended costs of reactive school closures associated with or influenza-like illness (ILI) has not been studied previously. We estimated the ILI-related United States over eight academic years.
Abstract As part of a multiyear project that monitored illness-related school closures, we conducted systematic daily online searches during July 27, 2020–June 30, 2022, to identify public announcements COVID-19–related closures (COVID-SCs) in the United States lasting >1 day. We explored temporospatial patterns COVID-SCs and analyzed associations between national COVID-19 surveillance data. reflected data: correlation was highest both new PCR test positivity (correlation coefficient [r] =...
Abstract Background We conducted a systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of nonpharmaceutical interventions within non-healthcare workplaces and community-level workplace closures lockdowns on COVID-19 outcomes in workers or general community selected mental health labor market outcomes. Methods The inclusion criteria included reviews, randomized controlled trials, non-randomized studies. exclusion qualitative, modeling Electronic searches were using MEDLINE, Embase, other...
Abstract Pre-emptive school closures are frontline community mitigation measures recommended by CDC for implementation during severe pandemics. This study describes the spatiotemporal patterns of publicly announced implemented in response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and assesses how public K-12 districts adjusted their methods education delivery provision subsidized meals. During February 18–June 30, 2020, we used daily systematic media searches identify...
This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of implementing non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) reserved for influenza pandemics (voluntary home quarantine, use face masks by ill persons, childcare facility closures, school social distancing at schools, workplaces, mass gatherings).Public health officials in all 50 states (including Washington, DC) 8 territories, a random sample 822 local departments (LHDs), were surveyed 2019.The response rates states/ territories LHDs...

Objective To explore IHE use nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) during subsequent pandemic-affected academic year 2020–2021. Design Cross-sectional study data collected January – June 2021. Setting: US four-year, undergraduate IHEs. Patients (or...

Abstract While there are numerous studies about influenza pandemic-associated school closures, literature is scant regarding closures associated with seasonal influenza. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted systematic daily online searches from August 1, 2011– June 30, 2022, to identify public announcements of unplanned in the US lasting ≥1 day, selecting those that mentioned and influenza-like illness (ILI) as reason for closure (ILI-SCs). We studied ILI-SC temporal patterns compared...
