COVID-19 REPORTS.
DIGEST 1
Although WHO has yet to call the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2
infection a pandemic, it has confirmed that the virus is
likely to spread to most, if not all, countries. Regardless
of terminology, this latest coronavirus epidemic is now
seeing larger increases in cases outside China. As of
March 3, more than 90 000 confirmed cases of COVID-19
have been reported in 73 countries. The outbreak in
northern Italy, which has seen 11 towns officially locked
down and residents threatened with imprisonment if
they try to leave, shocked European political leaders.
Their shock turned to horror as they saw Italy become the
epicentre for further spread across the continent. As the
window for global containment closes, health ministers
are scrambling to implement appropriate measures to
delay spread of the virus. But their actions have been slow
and insufficient. There is now a real danger that countries
have done too little, too late to contain the epidemic.

At the Epicenter of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Humanitarian Crises in Italy: Changing Perspectives on Preparation and Mitigation
In a pandemic, patient-centered care is inadequate and must be replaced by community-
centered care. Solutions for Covid-19 are required for the entire population, not only
for hospitals. The catastrophe unfolding in wealthy Lombardy could happen anywhere.
Clinicians at a hospital at the epicenter call for a long-term plan for the next pandemic.

Estimating the number of infections and the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 in 11 European countries
Following the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its spread outside of China, Europe
is now experiencing large epidemics. In response, many European countries have implemented
unprecedented non-pharmaceutical interventions including case isolation, the closure of schools and
universities, banning of mass gatherings and/or public events, and most recently, widescale social
distancing including local and national lockdowns.
