Compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures is high among university-level students in Qu ébec, Canada
CONCLUSION: Most university-level students are compliant with COVID-19 preventive measures in a Québec university library: an encouraging behaviour from a public health perspective. These findings may support public health authorities or university administrators in decisions regarding different COVID-19 preventive measures directed to different universities settings, as this method can be applied to focused, rapid observational studies and can lead to data of sufficient statistical power.PMID:37416112 | PMC:PMC10322114 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v48i78a07

Patterns of human social contact and mask wearing in high-risk groups in China
ConclusionsContact screening efforts should be concentrated in the home, school, and workplace after an outbreak of an epidemic, as more than 75% of all contacts, on average, will be found in such places. Efforts should be made to improve the mask-wearing rate and age-specific health promotion measures aimed at reducing transmission for the younger demographic. Age-stratified and occupation-specific social contact research in high-risk groups could help inform policy-making decisions during the post-relaxation period of the COVID-19 pandemic.Graphical Abstract

A multidrug-resistant tuberculosis outbreak among immigrants in Tokyo, Japan, 2019-2021
This study describes the outbreak investigation of his friends and colleagues at the restaurant. We investigated six friends and 15 colleagues, of whom five friends and 13 colleagues underwent interferon-ã release assay (IGRA). Of these, three friends (60.0%) and four colleagues (30.8%) were IGRA-positive. Each one of the friends and colleagues was found to have MDR-TB (20% and 7.7%, respectively). Challenges during the investigation were the unavailability of regimens for latent TB infection (LTBI) for contacts with MDR-TB, budgetary constraints concerning implementing computed tomography (CT) scans for the contacts, fre...
