No dia 11 de março de 2020 a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou oficialmente a pandemia da Covid-19. Essa declaração se deu não pela gravidade da patologia, mas pelo grande poder de contágio do vírus causador da doença. Por esse motivo, todos os países se viram frente um novo desafio de saúde mundial tendo a necessidade de se organizar para enfrentar essa nova demanda por meio da criação de novos fluxos, monitoramento interno dos profissionais e pacientes, e monitoramento externo dos mesmos. Além disso, por se tratar de um vírus com novas características, diversas pesquisas foram publicadas em tempo real a pandemia trazendo novas informações uteis para o trabalho, por esse motivo, o projeto Safety  foi criado com intuito de captar essas novas publicações, avaliar e posteriormente, inserir essas informações no trabalho proporcionando novas ferramentas de enfrentamento de acordo com a aplicabilidade no Brasil.

The novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has spread into a pandemic since its emergence in Wuhan, China in December of 2019. This has been facilitated by its high transmissibility within the human population and its ability to remain viable on inanimate surfaces for an extended period. To address the latter, we examined the effect of simulated sunlight on the viability of SARS-CoV-2 spiked into tissue culture medium or mucus. The study revealed that inactivation took 37 minutes in medium and 107 minutes in mucus. These times-to-inactivation were unexpected since they are longer than have been observed in other studies. From this work, we demonstrate that sunlight represents an effective decontamination method but the speed of decontamination is variable based on the underlying matrix. This information has an important impact on the development of infection prevention and control protocols to reduce the spread of this deadly pathogen.

Infectious diseases at work can be endemic such as seasonal influenza and emerging such as the novel coronavirus 2019. Infectious diseases have an impact on employees and other types of workers. Compensation and benefits professionals are often at the forefront of preventing workplace infections, addressing workplace infections, and ensuring the continuity of talent when workplace outbreaks and business shutdowns occur. This article provides an overview of pertinent laws, key compensation decisions, and ways to refocus existing benefit programs to meet the challenge of not only just safety, health, and wellness but also infection prevention and control.

Background: To explore the homogenized management method of infection prevention and control in medical resident under COVID-19 epidemic situation. Methods: Overall, 268 members in Ningbo Medical Group which was participating in the management of novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China were managed homogeneously in terms of personal cleaning and disinfection of articles, prevention and control of infection in life, training and assessment of relevant infection knowledge in hospitals. Results: In the epidemic situation, the homogenization management of infection prevention and control in the resident of medical team is an important measure to block the transmission link. Conclusion: 1. Conduct homogenization management on the training of hospital infection knowledge for medical staff. 2. Conduct homogeneous management of effective assessment of training knowledge. 3. Conduct homogenization management from personal cleaning and disinfection, as well as infection prevention and control in daily life.

Abstract The outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a public health emergency of international concern. The purpose of this study was to propose an improved dynamic SEIR (ID-SEIR) model to predict the epidemic trends of novel COVID-19. Firstly, we obtain the values of parameters in ID-SEIR model by using the epidemic data of Wuhan as the training sample. Secondly, we predict the epidemic trends of COVID-19 for the three most serious USA, New York and Italy with our proposed ID-SEIR model, and we can apply the proposed method to predict the epidemic trends of other countries and areas. Finally, we find that the proposed ID-SEIR model established in this paper has strong reliability, which can reasonably reflect the changes in national policies and public behavior during the epidemic. Also, this model can make predictions in line with the actual development of the epidemic and provide reference for infection prevention and control.

The Institute of Mental Health in Singapore continues to attempt to prevent the introduction of COVID-19, despite community transmission. Essential services are maintained and quarantine measures are currently unnecessary. To help similar organizations, strategies are listed along three themes: sustaining essential services, preventing infection, and managing human and consumable resources.
