“…Though very few studies focused on natural disasters during COVID -19, those are either focused on imminent risk analysis based on previous knowledge of different disasters worldwide. Many studies, including Markotić & Capac (2020) ; Sawano et al(2021) ; Kanamori et al (2021) ; Shultz et al (2020) , and Ishiwatari et al (2020) , emphasized considering COVID-19 in disaster studies through discussion and analysis based on previous hazards scenarios. Some studies, such as Pei et al (2020) and Currie et al (2020) , endeavored to predict the evacuation scenario during natural hazards in the COVID-19 pandemic by developing hypothetical models based on previous disaster data.…”

In May 2020, when Bangladesh was struggling with community transmission of COVID-19, the country had to face the strongest tropical storm-Cyclone Amphan -which puts the evacuation process in jeopardy. Thus, it is crucial to measure the public risk perception about COVID-19 and its influence on the evacuation decision. This study explores the nexus between COVID-19 risk perception and coastal peoples' evacuation decisions during cyclone Amphan. With an analysis of 378 sample households survey data of the Satkhira district, this study developed the COVID-19 risk perception index using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and categorized the respondents based on the score. The result shows that 1.85 %, 21.43 %, 45.77 %, 25.13 %, and 5.82 % have very low, low, moderate, high, and very high-risk perceptions, respectively. The analysis also reveals that 96.6 % of the respondents received an evacuation order during Amphan, but only 42 % complied with the order. The t-test analysis and common language effect size test of the survey data reveal that the respondents with a high perception score are 65 % less likely to evacuate than the respondents with low perception scores. This study has important implications in guiding concerned authorities to combat natural disasters during COVID-19 and other similar public health emergencies in the future.

“…In another study by Baird et al (2021), human milk after vaccination showeding high levels of SARS-CoV-2 specific IgA and IgG antibodies were recommended to protect infants against the virus. Considering the tight link between human, animal and environmental health, one health approach has gained even more importance in COVID-19 pandemic, indicating health programs should keep highlighting this issue in the future , in combination with antimicrobial resistance and food safety (Kanamori et al, 2021).…”

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which emerged from Wuhan, China in 2020, economic, social, and psychological problems occurred all over the world, mandating implementation of strict curfew, quarantine, travel restriction measures, and vaccinations against the virus. Though the source of the virus was not clearly revealed, initial case reports from a market in Huanan selling animal products, coupled with sequence analyses of the isolates, revealed close similarity to coronavirus isolated from bats (RatG13) and pangolins, questioning the suspect source of SARS-CoV-2 as zoonotic. Additionally, epidemiological and experimental studies indicated the presence of SARS-CoV-2, and its specific antibodies in many animals such as cats, dogs, ferrets, calves, and deer. Besides, determination detecting the virus in water samples including treated waters from wastewater treatment plants, fecal shedding, and possible fecal-oral transmission of the virus gained importance. Accordingly, vegetables and fruits irrigated with contaminated water, and foods such as shellfish grown in contaminated waters had the risk of carrying the virus. Although one of the most effective ways for protection against SARS-CoV-2 is mass and booster vaccinations, the emergence of new variants raises concerns on vaccines’ effectiveness against these variants. Thus, urgent implementation of one health concept addressing human, animal, and environmental health as a whole is mandatory to overcome this and other possible future pandemics. In this article, emergence, spread, zoonotic potential, fecal-oral transmission risk, and the possible role of food and water in the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus were reviewed based on up-to-date published data.

“…6 The idea of One Health multidisciplinary approach supported by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 has been elaborated in a study claiming that a cooperative approach between human and animal health professionals is necessary to be developed. 1 In a review study, 7 the past occurrences of complex disasters entailing a combination of natural disasters and infectious diseases have been compiled and systematically organized. In this study, the evacuation measures that specifically relate to COVID-19 have been discussed.…”

“…The occurrence of earthquakes coincident with the pandemic may prevent the effective practice of such measures, and consequently cause an increase in the virus spread. 1,2 In this context, the impact(s) of the virus spread and disaster management phases are mutual because, apart from the problems pertinent to COVID-19 spread caused by the disaster management measures, the infecting nature of the pandemic can undoubtedly affect the speed and efficiency of the measures.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to review the articles dealing with the mutual impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the recent earthquakes to elicit the various scopes of the lessons learned including the challenges, the successful measures, and the recommendations. Methods: To detect the relevant studies published between February 1, 2020, and June 9, 2021, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched. Having considered specific inclusion/exclusion criteria, 18 studies were included. Results: Seven major earthquakes have occurred concurrently or before the pandemic era in Albania, Croatia, Haiti, Great East Japan, Mexico, Nepal, and Utah. Thematic analysis revealed 5 themes for the “challenges” (management inefficiency, increased life-threatening, economic, socially related, and dual psychological challenges); 4 themes for the “efficient response measures” (health-care services measures, government measures, community-based cooperative activities, and disaster management response); and 3 major themes with 7 sub-themes for the “recommendations” including “the mitigation phase” (identifying probable natural disasters), “the preparedness phase” (preparing necessary equipment), and “the response phase” (mental care response measures, health-care-related COVID-19 measures, economic improvement measures, recognizing community-based capabilities, and government-related boosting measures). Conclusions: It is suggested that these scopes of the mutual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the earthquakes be studied in systematic reviews.
