interim guidance, 27 May 2021 All countries should increase their level of preparedness, alert and response to identify, manage and care for new cases of COVID-19. Countries should prepare to respond to different public health scenarios, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing cases and outbreaks of COVID-19. Each country should assess its risk and rapidly implement the necessary measures at the appropriate scale to reduce both COVID-19 transmission and economic, public and social impacts

Statement of guidance and recommendations to African Union Member States on the epidemic modelling of the COVID-19 pandemic

African Union; Africa CDC Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (2021) C1

Many African countries were amongst the most rapid to respond to the emerging threat of COVID-19, implementing large-scale interventions at very early stages of their epidemic. As demonstrated in this document using very simple models, this rapid mobilization and timeliness of implementing control measures is likely to be an important determinant of their success. Indeed, as these measures were relaxed, subsequent waves of disease have been observed in many countries including South Africa, Kenya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where such waves have severely impacted the health system by straining the supply of oxygen and ICU beds and inflicting a heavy toll on healthcare workers, often necessitating the re-imposition of control measures

COVID-19: Make it the Last Pandemic

World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO

Available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. You can download a summary of the main report and background documents! The report demonstrates that the current system—at both national and international levels— was not adequate to protect people from COVID-19. The time it took from the reporting of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown origin in mid-late December 2019 to a Public Health Emergency of International Concern being declared was too long. February 2020 was also a lost month when many more countries could have taken steps to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and forestall the global health, social, and economic catastrophe that continues its grip. The Panel finds that the system as it stands now is clearly unfit to prevent another novel and highly infectious pathogen, which could emerge at any time, from developing into a pandemic

Frequenz, Adhärenz und Testqualität sind entscheidende Faktoren für den Erfolg Epidemiologisches Bulletin17 |29. April 2021 . Im vorliegenden Artikel wird erläutert, wie Antigen-Schnelltests zur Pandemiekontrolle beitragen können. Außerdem werden die Chancen und Herausforderungen einer wiederholten Testung zur Reduktion des allgemeinen Transmissionsgeschehens und der zu erwartende Einfluss eines freiwilligen Testangebots auf das allgemeine Infektionsgeschehen diskutier
