COVID-19: What You Need to Know
From the Document: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. There are many types of coronaviruses, but COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus never previously seen in humans. [...] COVID-19 can spread to people who are in close contact (within about 6 feet) with an infected person when that person coughs or sneezes. COVID-19 can also live on surfaces, but it is not known for how long. [...] People at high risk for severe illness are those over 65 years old or those with other health conditions, such as lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, or cancer. People in close contact with the infected--such as in-home caretakers and intimate partners-- are also at high risk."

N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirator Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) Process for Decontamination and Reuse
From the Introduction: "The ongoing pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 resulting in COVID-19 has severely stressed the worldwide healthcare system and has created dangerous shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) including N95 filtering facepiece respirators (N95 FFRs). In an effort to extend the stockpile of N95 FFRs at our institution, we developed a decontamination procedure involving the delivery of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to used N95 FFRs. The evidence base supporting this program includes: 1) UVGI has been shown to effectively inactivate a wide range of human pathogens including coronaviruses and other human respiratory viruses; 2) UVGI has been demonstrated to inactivate human respiratory viruses, including coronaviruses, on various models of N95 FFRs; 3) levels of UVGI needed to inactive human respiratory viruses are well below the level of irradiation that adversely affects the fit and filtration characteristics of N95 FFRs; and 4) UVGI can be safely administered when appropriate safeguards are in place. Herein, we briefly describe our procedure to decontaminate and reuse N95 FFRs."

Impact of COVID-19 on Community-Based Responses to Violence
From the Introduction: "COVID-19 [coronavirus disease] continues to put considerable strain on the American healthcare system. At the time of this writing, there were 92,770 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New York State. In Monroe County, there were 390 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Importantly, both figures underestimate the actual occurrence of COVID-19 in both New York and Monroe County, respectively. Due to the limited availability of testing, the actual number of infected persons is likely much higher. One study found that 86% of COVID-19 cases in China during the early stages of the pandemic went undetected. The rise in COVID-19 infections has the potential to overwhelm hospital systems around the country. According to the Institute for Health Metrics Evaluation, New York State is projected to have a shortage of 63,019 hospital beds on April 9, 2020. This shortage will prove potentially deadly for patients seeking acute care for COVID-19 infections, but will also make it difficult for hospitals to provide effective treatment to patients seeking assistance for non COVID-19 related ailments. One sub-population of patients seeking hospital assistance that warrants special attention is violence victims. This working paper will explore the impact of COVID-19 on the ability of hospitals and community organizations to adequately respond to violence victimization."

Covid Act Now [webpage]
From the About Section: "Covid Act Now was started by four volunteers who saw the explosive and deadly growth of COVID [coronavirus disease] infections around the world and felt they had to do something. The Covid Act Now team has partnered with some of America's preeminent epidemiologists and data scientists to develop the U.S. Interventions Model. The U.S. Interventions Model is a data platform that projects COVID infections, hospitalizations, and deaths across the United States, as well as model how public health interventions contain the spread of COVID. We help decision makers understand when and how COVID will affect their communities in order to make better decisions that save lives. Our U.S. Interventions Model is being used at every level of government across the U.S., the military, private sector, and more. The model has also been used by several countries around the world, including India."

Mental Health and Behavioral Guidelines for Preparedness and Response to Coronavirus and Other Emerging Infectious Outbreaks
From the Document: "Several global infectious disease outbreaks, such as Coronavirus (COVID-19), can help inform psychological and behavioral responses to these events as well as appropriate interventions. [...] Like many crisis and disaster events, pandemics result in a predictable range of distress reactions (insomnia, decreased perceptions of safety, anxiety), health risk behaviors (increased use of alcohol and tobacco, work/life imbalance manifested by extreme over-dedication in the workplace to alleviate distress), and may also result in psychiatric disorders, such as PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder], depression, and anxiety. Infectious outbreaks have unique characteristics that increase fear and uncertainty, due to the imperceptibility of the infectious agent, uncertainty about infection, and early stage symptoms that are often easily mistaken for more well-known, benign illnesses. As a result, pandemics manifest unique individual and community responses, including scapegoating and blaming, fear of infection, and high levels of somatic (physical) symptoms. Community response to outbreaks is governed by perception of risk (not actual risk) with a variety of factors impacting community distress, including: fear of infection, concerns about adequate supplies and efficacy of prophylactic and treatment medications, and the emergence of pathogens that are difficult to detect or treat, spread in novel ways, or cause unfamiliar or extreme symptoms will increase community distress."

Caring for Patients' Mental Well-Being During Coronavirus and Other Emerging Infectious Diseases: A Guide for Clinicians
From the Document: "As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the potential for rapid and far-reaching spread of new infectious diseases is a growing threat. Especially in the early stages of an emerging infectious disease outbreak such as Coronavirus (COVID-19), there is frequently a great deal of uncertainty about the nature of the disease, its spread, and its scope and impact. This may lead to significant and understandable emotional distress, even among those who have not been, and don't know if they will be, directly exposed to the disease. During emerging infectious disease outbreaks, both medical and mental health clinicians are likely to encounter patients who are experiencing various levels of emotional distress about the outbreak and its impact on them, their families, and their communities. Providers should acknowledge uncertainty about emerging diseases and help patients understand that there is often an emotional component to potential health concerns."

Decontamination and Reuse of N95 Respirators with Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor to Address Worldwide Personal Protective Equipment Shortages During the SARS‐COV‐2 (COVID‐19) Pandemic
From the Abstract: "The SARS‐CoV‐2 [severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2] (COVID‐19) pandemic has placed a tremendous amount of strain on resources in the healthcare setting. One of the most pressing issues is the rapid depletion of personal protective equipment (PPE) used in the care of patients. This is a significant concern for healthcare workers' health and safety. Many entities have depleted or soon will exhaust their stockpile of PPE despite adopting PPE sparing practices as the number of COVID‐19 cases in the U.S. increases at an almost exponential rate and manufacturers struggle to keep up with the worldwide demand. This potential shortage is particularly concerning for commonly used N95 respirators and Powered‐Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs). Recently, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) even temporarily suspended the requirement to perform annual fit testing of respirators to allow entities to conserve respirators and preserve them for patient care. These measures are unprecedented and highlight the urgent need for entities to develop solutions to proactively address what could be potentially a grave occupational health issue."

Maintaining Trauma Center Access and Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Guidance Document for Trauma Medical Directors
From the Introduction: "Regionalized trauma systems have been developed to ensure access to care for injured patients who require time-sensitive life-saving interventions and advanced critical care to support recovery. The current worldwide COVID-19 [coronavirus disease] pandemic threatens to overwhelm the health care system and thus impact the ability to care for critically injured patients and other surgical emergencies. The intent of this document is to advise trauma medical directors and trauma program managers on factors to consider as the public health and health care sectors prepare for an anticipated surge of critically ill patients related to COVID-19 infection. This document is not meant to be all inclusive for the planning and preparation required by hospitals and health care systems, but to raise awareness of the importance of preserving capacity to respond to traumatic injuries that routinely occur in our communities."
