The Impact

While governments and international organizations continue their fight against the 2019 Corona virus disease, it is important to not overlook those in prisons and detention centres around the world, currently deprived of their liberty and rights, as they are likely to be more vulnerable to this outbreak than the general population. Given the nature of confinement, prisoners live in close proximity with each other for prolonged periods of time which often acts as a source for amplifying and spreading infectious diseases. With this in mind, the aim of this article is to present an overview of the impact of Corona virus pandemic on world prisons and the subsequent global responses to combat this unprecedented crisis. The article concludes with implications for mental health of prisoners and deliberates on decarceration as a way forward.

Background: We investigated the contact status of medical staff with confirmed or suspected patients with COVID-19 in Sichuan Province, China, as well as the use of personal protective equipment at the time of contact, and we explored the factors affecting the effective use of personal protective equipment. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study by distributing a questionnaire on occupational protection and exposure of medical staff in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 using a convenience sampling method for online surveys from February 23 to February 29, 2020. Results: In total, 13,829 valid questionnaires from 644 hospitals in Sichuan Province were retrieved, and 802 people were exposed to confirmed or suspected patients with COVID-19, accounting for 5.80%. 688 (85.79%) of 802 people who reported that they had taken effective personal protection measures for each exposure. Sex, work department, and length of service were the independent factors influencing the effective use of personal protective equipment in multivariate analysis (P < .05). Conclusions: Medical institutions need to continue to strengthen the training regarding standard precautions and personal protection, especially for general departments other than fever clinics and isolation wards, as well as medical staff with few working years, to ensure the occupational safety of medical staff.Funding: NoDisclosures: None

Severity Of The Disease

The pandemic Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) which has hampered the globe since December 2019 has endangered the livelihood of human race. Corona Virus Disease is a new strain of coronavirus that twitches with symptoms of fever, sore throat with dry cough, body ache, fatigue, anosmia (loss of sense of smell), dysgeusia (loss of sense of taste) resembling the ailments of common flu within two to fourteen days of exposure. Recently, emesis and diarrhoea are also seen as indicators in most of the patients. When the severity of the disease increases, the pulmonary system is impaired, and the artificial respiratory system support becomes essential for survival. It is not only the ratio of morbidity or mortality that prerequisites insights on discussion about the pandemic, rather there are many other arenas that needs to be pondered. Although, the preventive measures like personal hygiene, social distancing, self-quarantine in case of suspicion, followed by the individuals and the measures implemented by the Government like curfew, have proven effective in reducing the number of victims to coronavirus, the socio-economic dangers caused to human society is at large. Hence, this study aims to review the threats and challenges posed by the pandemics, like Corona Virus Disease on the grounds of education, economic security, food and nutrition security, physical health and psychological health.
