The trend of drowning before and after COVID-19 pandemic in Qazvin province: an area without sea shores in Iran
Conclusions: The findings of the study indicated that COVID-19 did not impact the frequency pattern of drownings in Qazvin.

Travel restrictions, pool closures, and decreased global warming due to lockdown could have been effective on the number of drownings. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers consider drowning prevention planning with priority given to young age groups. (Source: Journal of Injury and Violence Research)
