    Prisons are epicentres for infectious diseases because of the higher background prevalence of infection, the higher levels of risk factors for infection, the unavoidable close contact in often overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and unsanitary facilities, and the poor access to health-care services relative to that in community settings.1 Infections can be transmitted between prisoners, staff and visitors, between prisons through transfers and staff cross-deployment, and to and from the community. As such, prisons and other custodial settings are an integral part of the public health response to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

    • COVID-19 in pregnant women – Authors' reply David Baud Eric Giannoni Léo Pomar Xiaolong Qi Karin Nielsen-Saines Didier Musso et al. Show all authors Published:March 17, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S1473-3099(20)30192-4 We are grateful for the concerns of Manuel Schmidt and colleagues about our previous guidelines1 for pregnant women with suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. At the time we developed the algorithm (February, 2020), there were no data regarding potential vertical transmission from infected mothers and outcomes in newborns. To date, there has been no evidence of vertical transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on two small clinical series.2, 3 According to WHO, delayed umbilical cord clamping is highly unlikely to increase the risk of transmitting pathogens from the mother to the fetus even in the case of maternal infection.4 Because the vernix caseosa contains antimicrobial peptides, we recommend leaving it in place until 24 h after birth.5 New data examining neonates from infected mothers could be reassuring, but transmission after birth via contact with infectious respiratory secretions is still a concern, and physical separation of mother from child should be considered. Separation is a standard practice in pulmonary tuberculosis and is discussed in cases of maternal influenza infection.6 Therefore, separation of the mother and her newborn baby should be individually discussed by an interdisciplinary team, considering local facilities and risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes, such as prematurity and fetal distress.

    • 3月17日_墨尔本大学等称监狱和拘留所是全面应对COVID-19的重要部分 1.时间：2020年3月17日 2.机构或团队：墨尔本大学、不列颠哥伦比亚大学、昆士兰大学等 3.事件概要： 墨尔本大学、不列颠哥伦比亚大学、昆士兰大学等机构的科研人员在The Lancet Public Health期刊在线发表题为“Prisons and custodial settings are part of a comprehensive response to COVID-19”的评论文章。文章指出，监狱和其他拘留场所是应对COVID-19公共卫生措施的重要组成部分。监狱集中了易受感染和有较高并发症风险的人，COVID-19在老年人以及患有慢性疾病或免疫抑制的人群中死亡率增加。值得注意的是，在监狱中的人普遍患有多种疾病，通常比一般人群发病更早，严重程度也更高，而且许多国家的监狱人口老龄化严重。此外，对监狱卫生的投资不足，某些监狱中人满为患以及严格的安全程序，有可能延迟诊断和治疗。因此，拘留场所的COVID-19疫情对公共卫生非常重要。第一，这些场所的暴发有可能使监狱医疗服务不堪重负；第二，全球每年有大约三千万人被羁押，监狱是社区传播的媒介，将对边缘化社区产生不成比例的影响。文章提出，为减轻监狱疫情对三级医疗机构的影响，并降低社会最边缘化人群的发病率和死亡率，必须将监狱、青年拘留所和移民拘留所纳入更广泛的公共卫生应对措施中。 4.附件： 原文链接：https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(20)30058-X/fulltext
