“…The impact of in-flight exposure to positive cases has been evaluated. 7 , 8 In our case, we were unable to determine the secondary cases caused by in-flight exposure since we did not have access to those cases developing symptoms after arrival and therefore sequencing data could not be obtained for comparisons. We compared our sequencing data with sequences obtained from 572 cases from our population (community cases) diagnosed in the same time period and no transmission clusters were identified involving travellers and community cases.…”

“…As the world collectively grappled with the emergence of COVID-19, the virus embarked on a global journey with distinct phases. Originating in Wuhan, China, the virus swiftly traversed international borders, propelled by global travel (Arora et al, 2021). What ensued was a diverse array of trajectories, with different regions experiencing varied impacts and responses.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic showed major impacts, on societies worldwide, challenging healthcare systems, economies, and daily life of people. Geoepidemiology, an emerging field that combines geography and epidemiology, has played a vital role in understanding and combatting the spread of the virus. This interdisciplinary approach has provided insights into the spatial patterns, risk factors, and transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic at different scales, from local communities to global populations. Spatial patterns have revealed variations in incidence rates, with urban-rural divides and regional hotspots playing significant roles. Cross-border transmission has highlighted the importance of travel restrictions and coordinated public health responses. Risk factors such as age, underlying health conditions, socioeconomic factors, occupation, demographics, and behavior have influenced vulnerability and outcomes. Geoepidemiology has also provided insights into the transmissibility and spread of COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission, super-spreading events, and the impact of variants. Geoepidemiology should be vital in understanding and responding to evolving new viral challenges of this and future pandemics.
