2021 UNAIDS Global AIDS Update. UNAIDS report shows that people living with HIV face a double jeopardy, HIV and COVID-19, while key populations and children continue to be left behind in access to HIV services
The household transmission investigation is a case-ascertained prospective study of all identified household contacts of a laboratory confirmed 2019-nCoV infection (see 2.2 Study population). It is intended to provide rapid and early information on the clinical, epidemiological and virological chara...cteristics of 2019-nCoV.
There are three primary objectives of this household transmission study:
To better understand the extent of transmission within a household by estimating the secondary infection rate for household contacts at an individual level, and factors associated with any variation in the secondary infection risk.
To characterize secondary cases including the range of clinical presentation, risk factors for infection, and the extent and fraction of asymptomatic infections.
To characterize serologic response following confirmed 2019-nCoV infection (highly encouraged, but optional depending on laboratory capacity and resources)

Dieser Leitfaden zum Management von COVID-19 Ausbruechen richtet sich in erster Linie an die Fachöffentlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen, insbesondere den ÖGD auf allen Ebenen. Er verweist auf viele bereits existierende generische sowie für COVID-19 entwickelten Dokumente. Diese Empfehlungen sind alle... unter www.rki.de/covid-19 zu finden, darunter Empfehlungen für das Kontaktpersonenmanagement, Optionen für die Kontaktreduzierung, Kriterien für die Risiköinschätzung von Grossveranstaltungen und Hilfestellung zum Schutz besonders gefährdeter Gruppen. Informationen für Reisende sind beim Auswärtigen Amt zu finden. Informationen zur regionalen oder lokalen Ebene geben die Landes- und kommunalen Gesundheitsbehörden.
Die Inhalte basieren auf den Erkenntnissen zu Erkrankungen (COVID-19) mit Infektionen durch das neuartige Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) zum jeweils angegebenen Datenstand. Das Dokument wird aktualisiert und ergänzt, sobald neue Erkenntnisse eine Aktualisierung/Änderung der Empfehlungen notwendig machen.

The international community sits at the tipping pointof a post-‐antibiotic era, where common bacterial infections are no longer treatable with the antibiotic armamentarium that exists. In South Africa, t...he identification of the first case of pan-‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(Brink et al, J Clin Microbiol. 2013;51(1):369-‐72) marks a watershed moment and highlights ourtip of the antibiotic resistance ‘iceberg’ in this country. Multi-‐drug resistant (MDR)-‐bacterial infections, predominantly in Gram-‐negative bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosaand Acinetobacter baumanniiare now commonplace in South African hospitals. Whilst a number of expensive new antibiotics for Gram-‐positive bacterial infections have been manufactured recently (some of which are licenced for usein South Africa), no new antibiotics active against Gram-‐negative infections are expected in the next 10-‐15years. Hence what we have now, needs conserving
