Pandemic News and Research

RSS

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. During a pandemic, transmission can be anticipated in the workplace, not only from patient to workers in health care settings, but also among co-workers in general work settings. A pandemic would cause high levels of illness, death, social disruption, and economic loss. Everyday life would be disrupted because so many people in so many places become seriously ill at the same time. Impacts could range from school and business closings to the interruption of basic services such as public transportation and food delivery.

Study suggests people with COVID-19 exhibit increased risks and 12-month burdens of incident cardiovascular diseases

Danish study of long COVID in teens

As an aftermath of the extended lockdowns and social distancing restrictions, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted the quality of life of children and adolescents worldwide, not only physically due to the infection, but also mentally. A high level of anxiety and depression has been reported among pediatric patients and adolescents, many of whom were deprived of social interaction with peers during the pandemic.
