APHL has conducted a weekly survey of 99 state, local and territorial public health laboratories (PHLs) to collect the status of current and projected capability and capacity of laboratories to test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
WHO, in collaboration with partners, expert networks, national authorities, institutions and researchers have been monitoring and assessing the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 since January 2020
Large droplets expelled by patients during upper endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures pose a risk for COVID-19 transmission to nearby healthcare workers
COVID-19 Quarantine vs. Isolation (NEW 10/15, Document)Comparison between isolation and quarantine in the context of COVID-19 vaccination
Antia R, Halloran ME
The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated disease, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused a devastating pandemic worldwide. Here, we explain basic concepts underlying the transition from an epidemic to an endemic state, where a pathogen is stably maintained in a population. We discuss how the number of infections and the severity of disease change in the transition from the epidemic to the endemic phase and consider the implications of this transition in the context of COVID-19.
