India’s capital city Delhi is facing an unprecedented public health crisis that is not receiving sufficient government attention. Rapid urbanisation is part of the challenge. For too long public authorities have neglected the needs of its expanding poor communities for decent and dignified living conditions. Meanwhile, affluent groups benefit from various government privileges that seem difficult to justify. One way of disrupting the inertia is for civil society organisations to engage communities in building a compelling evidence base to hold decision-makers to account and demand social change.

This article is a review of the available modern literature on the features of the course and duration of the post-COVID period. More than fifteen studies have been analyzed, in which the authors evaluated the incidence of symptoms in post-COVID period and its clinical characteristics.

The health problems caused by insufficient exercise are becoming more and more serious, which is a serious threat to human health, especially the increase in patients with chronic diseases, which brings a heavy burden to medical and health care, and even triggers a public health crisis. In order to cope with the health threats people face, how to promote the synergistic effect of sports and medical health under the background of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine has become an important issue in building a healthy China life cycle. This article is aimed at studying the application of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in pharmacy and health. Through the research of multiproblem collaborative governance of sports and medicine, the mechanism to promote multidisciplinary collaborative governance was established, and the realization of the integration of sports and medicine was promoted, extending some college students in a university in a certain city and studied the experiment of the influence of exercise on health. Experiments showed that 34.8% of students who exercise almost daily were in very healthy conditions, and 47.8% of healthy students were also unhealthy or prone to illness. The 62.1% of students exercising three to four times a week are healthy, proving that sports has a certain impact on human health and has a certain reference significance for the integration of sports and medicine.

This Community Case Study examines the challenges of communicating about the COVID-19 crisis in a politically conservative American state, Idaho. The study presents an analysis of one local expert’s communication strategies in the face of significant partisanship, threats of violence, and widespread refusal to comply with recommended public health behaviors. Findings suggest that consistent, cross-platform communication that emphasizes personalized recommendations and advice, transparency, and humility, are key strategies in a fractured information environment. However, while micro-level communication strategies are important, more must be done to help Americans regain trust in institutions, expertise, and information at a macro-level.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the most severe global public health crisis in the last century. SARS-CoV-2 emerged in China in December 2019, and since then, it has been quickly spreading around the world. After Europe and North America, the virus has arrived in Latin America. Among the developing countries, Brazil has been the most affected by the pandemic causalities, which is a concern, since social and economic disparities may favor its severity. In an attempt to reduce virus transmission, public health measures have been implemented by the states, despite the lack of assistance from the Brazilian federal government. Implementing social distancing and hygiene measures have not been possible, mainly due to the unfavorable social conditions of economically vulnerable people. Thus, the pandemic is exposing the evidence of social inequalities in the country, which in turn deepens the public health crisis. Here, we discuss evidence from relevant topics that are influencing the course of the pandemic in Brazil, including food insecurity, social aspects and public health political issues. The pandemic has exposed the need for maintaining and improving the social care and food security of vulnerable groups as well as the harm of ignoring them. Thus, more effective mitigation measures must be thought and applied in Brazil to improve the handling of this pandemic and the next ones.
