    Abstract

    Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is recognized as a major threat to human health in 2020, particularly for those living in China and its neighboring countries, including people living near the border of southern China in northern Thailand. The study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and preparedness to respond to COVID-19 among people in poor economic conditions and with low education levels living near the border of China in northern Thailand.

    • Reverse Logistics Network Design for Effective Management of Medical Waste in Epidemic Outbreak: Insights from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan 22 Pages Posted: 18 Feb 2020 Hao Yu University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway Xu Sun University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway Wei Deng Solvang University of Tromsø - The Arctic University of Norway Xu Zhao China Three Gorges University (CTGU) Date Written: February 14, 2020 Abstract The outbreak of an epidemic disease may impose significant treats on human being and may further lead to a global crisis. In order to effectively control epidemic spread, a responsive logistics service is of vital importance. Over the years, researches have been focused on the establishment and the operations of temporary logistics network for delivering medical service and allocating emergency resources. However, the research focus has not been given to the design of a temporary reverse logistics network for medical waste treatment in epidemic outbreak, which, if improperly treated, may accelerate disease spread and pose a significant risk on both medical staffs and patients. Therefore, this paper formulates a novel multi-objective multi-period mixed integer program for reverse logistics network design in epidemic outbreak, which aims at effective management of the exponentially increased medical waste and healthcare hazards within a very short period. The model is validated with a real-world case study based on the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China. Even through the uncertainty of the future tendency of the COVID-19 spread is very high at the time of this research, some general managerial implications can still be obtained based on quantitative analyses. Among other insights, the computational results suggest installing and operating temporary incinerators at proper locations may be an effective solution for managing the tremendous increase of medical waste during the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan.

    • The Risk of Death in 2019 Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in Hubei Province 40 Pages Posted: 19 Feb 2020 Vincent Yi Fong Su Taipei Veterans General Hospital - Department of Chest Medicine Yao-Hsu Yang Chang Gung Memorial Hospital - Health Information and Epidemiology Laboratory Abstract Background: The current outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or SARS-CoV-2) in China and globally requires urgent research to guide the appropriate treatment of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: We conducted a case-control study to the evaluate risk factors of death in patients with COVID-19. We used published data of cases from Huanan Seafood Market, Jinyintan Hospital, and deaths publicly released by the Government. The study included 41 patients partially exposed to the Huanan Seafood Market, 99 patients from Jinyintan Hospital, and 32 deaths (COVID-19 death group).
