“…Unlike some authors, our data showed that most social relaxing events had a limited effect on SARS-CoV-2 cases [1][2][3]9]. However, our study is in line with a large ecological study that reported a drop in cases of COVID-19 even after two months of opening bars, restaurants and pubs [6]. It is possible that the population continued to adhere to the protection measures against infection, in addition to restrictions imposed on opening hours, number of regulars and distancing between groups.…”

“…This study based in primary data reinforce model studies that indicate that reopening events have different effects on the COVID-19 series, although the type of event is still a matter of debate. It is possible that the attitude of residents towards the pandemic, through continued wearing of masks, taking personal precautions, testing for COVID-19 and keeping social distancing, added to the adhesion of commercial establishments is the key factor to reduce risk of transmission in public places [6].…”

“…However, model projections can be conflicting or do not correspond to the observed reality [4,5]. Also, most of the COVID-19 studies based their models on different assumptions about the virus [6]. On the other hand, primary data can provide a closer approximation to reality, although they are time consuming and carried out a posteriori [7].…”

The relaxation of restrictive measures imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic allowed a gradual resumption of human activities, although the influence of each measure on the COVID-19 series is not consensual. We analyzed the effects of sequential reopening events during COVID-19 pandemic based in 76,419 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests performed from April 2020 to January 2021 in Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, Brazil. A statistically significant increase in cases after 3-4 weeks of reopening measures, followed by a drop for a similar period, indicated that such events resulted in temporary and non-cumulative effects. A second peak in November was preceded by measures of social relaxation of a high level of agglomeration in confined spaces, including an election campaign. Post-opening events provoked different impacts on cases, but showing limited temporary effect. It is possible that other factors, including the exhaustion of social distancing and the appearance of new SARS-CoV-2 strains may have also influenced this second wave.

“…Precautions at home to avoid spreading the virus include the following: self-isolation including staying at home 4,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] ; avoiding touching other people [73][74][75][76][77] ; staying isolated in a specific room away from other people 4,11,[78][79][80] ; use of a separate bathroom or washroom if possible [80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87] ; avoidance of sharing personal household items with other people or pets where possible and if not possible, these items should be cleaned with soap and warm water 88,89 ; avoid handling pets 90,91 ; and wearing a mask covering the nose and mouth when around other poeple. 16,19,20,81,[92][93][94] Cleaning and disinfection are recommended on a daily basis including all high-touch surfaces, [95][96][97][98] the practice of meticulous washroom hygiene, and any surfaces that may be contaminated with blood, 95 stool, 83 or body fluids.…”

Introduction/Objectives: Clinicians treating COVID-19 patients face a major challenge in providing an effective relationship with patients who are discharged to return to home in order to optimize patient self-management after discharge. The purpose of these discharge instructions is to assist and provide guidance for physicians, nurses, and other health care personnel involved in discharging COVID-19 patients to home after encounters at hospitals, emergency departments, urgent care settings, and medical offices. Methods: A systematic literature-search of studies evaluating both symptoms and signs of COVID-19 was performed in order to establish specific optimal performance criteria in monitoring a patient’s status with regard to disease safety. These optimal performance criteria parameters were considered with regard to the severity of morbidity and mortality. Strategies used to develop the discharge instructions included review of a broad spectrum of literature to develop the discharge criteria. Results: These guidelines are presented for patient education and should achieve the essential goals including: enabling patients to understand their medical situation, preventing complications, supporting patients by providing instructions, helping patients make more effective use of available health services, and managing patient stress by giving patients comfort through the knowledge of specific recommendations including how to respond to situations. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic requires clinicians to efficiently teach their patients self-management strategies and to provide a safe educated response to the patient and the surrounding community environment. The primary goal of the patient education discharge-instructions (PEDI) is to provide self-management strategies for preventing complications and disease transmission.

“…We have therefore performed these calculations for all dichotomous series (lockdown, curfew), and it is interesting to note that we obtained the coefficients as those directly obtained with Pearson. This method has previously been used to study the relationship between COVID-19 mortality and containment 16 .…”

After an initial phase of low reactivity from the French public health authorities, in the face of the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in February 2020, various Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) were put in place (strict stay-at-home orders, followed by mandatory mask wearing in public places, curfews, partial lockdowns, etc.). In our knowledge, no study has independently assessed their respective effectiveness in an independent manner nor a synergistic manner. Our study has retrospectively studied (from 03/01/2020 to 30/01/2021), using metropolitan France data, the association strength (using normalized mutual information) as well as the linear correlation (using Pearson’s correlation) between more restrictive NPIs (mrNPIs) and epidemiological markers of COVID-19. All mrNPIs were moderately associated with a viral reproduction rate decrease but were associated neither with a decrease in COVID-19 daily hospitalizations, nor with COVID-19 daily ICU admissions. This paper is only for academic discussion, conclusions need to be confirmed by further research. Data and codes were available here http://gitlab.com/covid-data-2/lockdown-and-curfew.
