Risk assessment model and application of COVID-19 virus transmission in closed environments at sea

Abstract

This paper focuses on the risk assessment methods of novel coronavirus pneumonia virus (COVID-19) pneumonia virus spreading in closed marine environment. Firstly, the possibility of the spread of new coronavirus in closed environments at sea and the consequences of the harm caused by the epidemic are classified into five levels, and the corresponding risk assessment framework is constructed, and the risk assessment model of the spread of COVID-19 pneumonia virus in closed environment at sea is established taking the Japanese “Diamond Princess” as an example, the model is applied and its output is analysed. Finally, the proportion of the cumulative confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess is calculated, and the possibility of viral infection of Diamond Princess passengers in this COVID-19 pneumonia epidemic in four different risk transmission stages are assessed, and the corresponding risk assessment is undertaken. Through the calculation of risk assessment value, the five stages of the epidemic are established to assess the risk of the “Diamond Princess” outbreak. The research method in the present work helps to provide a risk assessment and analysis idea for the risk of spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in a closed environment at sea.

Knowledge-based normative safety measure approach: systematic assessment of capabilities to conquer COVID-19

“…Also, [6] have analyzed information statistically in order to extract the pattern of Spatio-temporal clusters along with the duration of clusters, resulting in the positivity of countries containment policies. In the meantime, [26] estimating the break-point of the pattern on the spread of the novel COVID-19 and setting an uncertain growth rate transmission point, although it is critical to consider. Qi et al [28] studies suggest that the potential of vast test against COVID-19 is specific to drive-through and walk-through diagnostic methods, and this study also recognizes the value of transport infrastructures, location-based digital monitoring technologies, and the government's ability to optimize.…”

Multi-Zone Infection Risk Assessment Model of Airborne Virus Transmission on a Cruise Ship Using CONTAM

“…Several studies have been conducted on the transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2 on cruise ships, based on theoretical analysis. Pang et al [18] constructed a risk assessment framework based on the possibility and dangers of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a closed marine environment. Zhang et al [1] established a Bayesian network model of the infection risk of COVID-19 for large cruise passengers based on data collected on confirmed cases, and the seventh edition of the "COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Program" issued by the National Health Commission.…”

A Head/Tail Breaks-Based Approach to Characterizing Space-Time Risks of COVID-19 Epidemic in China’s Cities

“…Since the COVID-19 outbreak, governments have launched various measures to combat the pandemic, such as quarantines, the closure of cities, and the suspension of large gatherings [6,7]. Meanwhile, researchers have conducted a large number of studies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the clinical characteristics [8], viral gene sequencing [9], epidemic transmission characteristics [10,11], spatiotemporal distribution patterns [12][13][14][15], space-time risk assessments [16,17], and others.…”
