“…On the one hand, the crisis is arguably propelling women-run businesses towards digital platforms and closing the gender gap in internet usage that previous studies have documented (Fatehkia et al, 2018;EIGE, 2016;Ono and Zavodny, 2003;Rowntree, 2018). Our results suggest that moving to digital platforms (which can be as inexpensive as opening a profile on social media) is a compelling response to the crisis for female-led businesses, possibly because women have faced greater mobility restrictions due to lockdowns and increased childcare demands (De Paz Nieves et al, 2021). Such platforms can potentially help firms navigate mobility restrictions at a comparably low cost.…”

“…During the pandemic, women dropped out of paid employment at higher rates than men, took on responsibilities for increased care of children and the ill, and faced greater risks of violence (Bundervoet, Davalos, and Garcia 2021;Center on Gender Equity and Health 2020;Cucagna and Romero 2021;De Paz Nieves, Gaddis, and Muller 2021;Kugler et al 2021). Indeed, virus containment measures affected women's labor market outcomes more adversely than those of men.…”

“…In general, gender differences in the susceptibility to bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections are observed at all ages, with a larger and more significant burden among males (Peckham et al, 2020). The CVOID-19 is not an exception, as many studies indicated that males are more vulnerable to COVID-19 than females (Abate et al, 2020;Bischof et al, 2020;Bwire, 2020;Yanez et al, 2020;de Paz Nieves et al, 2021;Salahshoori et al, 2021).…”

Aims: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing global pandemic. In Syria, the first case was reported in March 2020. This study was aimed to investigate the incidences of COVID-19 in the Banias and Alkadmos areas in Tartus, Syria, in 2021. Methodology and results: Our data were obtained from the records of Banias and Alkadmos hospitals. The results were inferred by analysing data for 1026 COVID-19 patients. About 58.4% of total cases were among males and 41.6% were among females. Most patients were living in rural areas; 73% compared to 27% in urban ones. The severity of the disease varied between patients. About 67.4% of cases needed to be hospitalized for treatment, most of which were from the elderly. The same was noticed with the mortality rate, with 14.5% of total cases and 66.4% of them were older than 65. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Our study indicated that age and gender are risk factors for contracting COVID-19.
