Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on primary care-recorded mental illness and self-harm episodes in the UK: a population-based cohort study, 2021.01.11,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S2468-2667(20)30288-7 .
This study finds that consequences of the considerable reductions in primary care-recorded mental illness and self-harm could include more patients subsequently presenting with greater severity of mental illness and increasing incidence of non-fatal self-harm and suicide. Addressing the effects of future lockdowns and longer-term impacts of economic instability on mental health should be prioritised.

Development and validation of the ISARIC 4C Deterioration model for adults hospitalised with COVID-19: a prospective cohort study, 2021.01.11,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600(20)30559-2 .
This study finds that the 4C Deterioration model has strong potential for clinical utility and generalisability to predict clinical deterioration and inform decision making among adults hospitalised with COVID-19.

6-month consequences of COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study, 2021.01.08,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)32656-8 .
This paper finds that at 6 months after acute infection, COVID-19 survivors were mainly troubled with fatigue or muscle weakness, sleep difficulties, and anxiety or depression. Patients who were more severely ill during their hospital stay had more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, and are the main target population for intervention of long-term recovery.

Challenges in creating herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection by mass vaccination, 2020.11.04,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)32318-7 .
This article elucidates challenges of persuading governments and populations to use COVID-19 vaccines effectively to create herd immunity to protect all over the coming year.

Real-time suicide mortality data from police reports in Queensland, Australia, during theCOVID-19 pandemic: an interrupted time-series analysis, 2020.11.16,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(20)30435-1 .
This study shows that there does not yet appear to be an overall change in the suspected suicide rate in the 7 months since Queensland declared a public heal the mergency. Despite this, COVID-19 has contributed to some suspected suicides in Queensland. Ongoing community spread and increasing death rates of COVID-19, and its impact on national economies and mental health, reinforces the need for governments to maintain the monitoring and reporting of suicide mortality in realtime.

Institutional, not home-based, isolation could contain the COVID-19 outbreak, 2020.04.29,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)31016-3 .
Researchers modelled and compared two types of isolation measures: institution-based isolation and home-based isolation and the results show the need for institution-based isolation to reduce household and community transmission.

Women at the frontline of COVID-19: Can Gender Mainstreaming in Free Trade Agreements Help? 2020.09.10,
https://doi.org/10.1093/jiel/jgaa023 .
This article outlines five main reasons that explain why this health pandemic has put women employees, entrepreneurs, and consumers at the frontline of the struggle. It then explores how free trade agreements can contribute in repairing the harm in the post-pandemic world. In doing so, the author sheds light on various ways in which the existing trade agreements embrace gender equality considerations and how they can be better prepared to help minimize the pandemic-inflicted economic loss to women.

Projected health-care resource needs for an effective response to COVID-19 in 73 low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study, 2020.09.09,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(20)30383-1 .
This study shows that the sizeable costs of a COVID-19 response in the health sector will escalate, particularly if transmission increases. Instituting early and comprehensive measures to limit the further spread of the virus will conserve resources and sustain the response.

Mapping global trends in vaccine confidence and investigating barriers to vaccine uptake: a large-scale retrospective temporal modelling study, 2020.09.10,
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)31558-0 .
In this study, vaccine confidence was mapped across 149 countries between 2015 and 2019. Their findings highlight the importance of regular monitoring to detect emerging trends to prompt interventions to build and sustain vaccine confidence.
