The relation between meteorological factors and COVID-19 spread remains uncertain, particularly with regard to the role of temperature, relative humidity and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. To assess this relation, we investigated disease spread
CONCLUSION: The proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art COVID-19 detection methods in different settings. Our method can reduce the workloads of healthcare providers and radiologists.
CONCLUSIONS: MH service users have increased risk of hospitalisation for many vaccine-preventable conditions. This may be due to reduced vaccination rates, more severe illness requiring hospitalisation, greater exposure to infectious conditions or
The paper assesses the performance and recovery of Mauritian MSMEs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study probes into a series of internal measures and plans set out by MSMEs to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and also dwells into the
The Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is more infectious than the previous variants but less severe; more patients are being followed up without hospitalization. Identification of patients with severe
CONCLUSION: We conclude that SARS-CoV-2 Ct values of rRT-PCR alone does not have a role in aiding severity stratification among patients with COVID-19 since the viral dynamics and Ct value may vary due to the emerging variants that occur in different
In this paper, we study mathematically a two strains epidemic model taking into account non-monotonic incidence rates and vaccination strategy. The model contains seven ordinary differential equations that illustrate the interaction between the
