Com o objetivo de frear o número de infecções por COVID-19, vários países adotaram regulamentações de distanciamento social, incluindo o fechamento de estabelecimentos não essenciais e restrições de mobilidade. Este artigo estima o impacto dessas regulamentações sobre os crimes contra a propriedade no estado de São Paulo. O impacto é estimado usando um modelo espaço-temporal Bayesiano e é desagregado por microrregiões. A variabilidade espacial do impacto é usada para inferir quais variáveis observadas caracterizam os locais com maior probabilidade de terem sido impactados. Os resultados indicam que a maioria das microrregiões sofreu uma redução nos crimes contra a propriedade e que esses locais são caracterizados por índices de isolamento mais altos e menos recebimento de transferências emergenciais de dinheiro. With the goal of stopping COVID-19 infections, several countries adopted social distancing regulations, including closure of non essential establishments and mobility restrictions. This paper estimates the impact of these regulations on property crime in the state of São Paulo. The impact is estimated using a Bayesian spatiotemporal model, and is disaggregated by microregions. The space variability of the impact is used to infer which observed variables characterize places with higher probability of impact. We found that most microregions experienced a decrease in property crime, and that these places are characterized by higher isolation indices and less receipt of emergency cash transfers.

On Thursday 12th March 2020, the Taoiseach announced a number of significant measures designed to contain the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and lessen the risk of infection in the population, especially to vulnerable groups. These measures have placed significant restrictions on the normal operation of business and society. Many accommodations have had to be made to ensure the operation of critical services during this time, including both front-line health services and other services which support the continued functioning of society and business. Planning authorities have responded through implementation of business continuity plans and are ensuring, insofar as possible, and having regard to public health advice, that necessary provision is made to allow for the appropriate functioning of the planning service. This is an evolving situation, which will be kept under review by the Department through engagement with the City and County Management Association (CCMA), Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), An Bord Pleanála, the Office of the Planning Regulator and other Government Departments. This planning guidance addresses potential uncertainty which has arisen where there is an interaction between the public health measures that have been implemented, and operational restrictions imposed by planning condition, for example where essential retail operators, in an effort to ensure that food and other supplies can be delivered in a safe and timely manner, may be subject to planning conditions that restrict delivery times.

Non food pubs in Dublin continue to be only pubs not allowed to open in country. Will have been closed for minimum of 225 days.

Community assessment hubs are intended for clinical assessment of patients with clinical features suggestive of COVID-19. These facilities are likely to serve a significant number of patients with COVID-19 and as well as those without COVID-19. Therefore, a high standard of infection prevention and control is needed to ensure that infection is not transmitted from those who have infection to those who do not have infection. This preliminary guidance is based on what is currently known about COVID-19. It will be appropriate to review this guidance at an early date based on practical experience of the operation of these facilities. Version 1.0

This guidance document replaces the previous issued document “Residential Care Facilities Preliminary Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Infection Prevention and Control Guidance including Outbreak Control in Residential Care Facilities (RCF) and Similar Units” Publication. Version 3

Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of exposure to a variety of respiratory hazards including transmissible respiratory diseases. One element of protecting HCWs against infectious respiratory hazards is the effective use of specific items of personal protective equipment (PPE). Surgical face masks and respirator masks are the most commonly used types of PPE in this context. Version 1.0
