The vital role of smartphone apps during the COVID-19 pandemic

At the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, analog techniques like nasopharyngeal swab specimens for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing were prominent. The widespread use of nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as facemasks and social distancing was reminiscent of the influenza outbreak in 1918.

COVID-19 strikes harder on low-income communities in LA; Vaccination proves key to reducing disparity

COVID-19 incidence rates were higher in lower-income communities compared to higher-income communities before vaccines became available in Los Angeles. However, after vaccination, the disparity in COVID-19 incidence diminished, with the lowest-income communities experiencing the highest impact of vaccination.

Study sheds light on the long-term effects of COVID-19 on minority groups

A new study conducted by researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel has shed light on the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life among different ethnic groups in the country. The study, part of a larger cohort project, highlights a significant discrepancy between Arabs and Druze, and Jews, with the two former groups experiencing a more pronounced decline in quality of life one year after infection.
