Abstract

The ongoing coronavirus disease – 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the dynamics of all sectors and has significantly impacted the functioning of the healthcare delivery system. The purpose of the current review was to explore the significance of gatherings in COVID-19 outbreaks and the strategies to be implemented prior to organize a gathering to minimize the potential risk of a COVID-19 outbreak. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out in the PubMed search engine and a total of 14 articles were selected. Keywords used in the search include COVID-19 and gathering in the title alone only. As COVID-19 infection spreads via close contact, a gathering of any size carries the definite potential to amplify the risk of transmission and initiate a new chain of disease outbreaks. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic is far from being yet over, and the decision to organize a gathering has to be based on the risk evaluation, risk mitigation, and establishment of a risk communication strategy. Even with all this, zero risk does not exist, and the best approach will be to strictly implement all the prevention and control measures and be responsible in all the gatherings.

探索COVID-19疫情成因中的聚集范围

持续的冠状病毒疾病- 2019 (COVID-19)大流行改变了所有部门的动态，并严重影响了医疗保健服务系统的运作。本综述的目的是探讨在COVID-19暴发期间聚会的重要性，以及在组织聚会之前应实施的策略，以尽量减少COVID-19暴发的潜在风险。在PubMed搜索引擎中广泛搜索与该主题相关的所有资料，共选择了14篇文章。搜索中使用的关键词仅包括标题中的COVID-19和gathering。由于COVID-19感染通过密切接触传播，任何规模的聚会都有可能扩大传播风险并引发新的疾病暴发链。总之，COVID-19大流行远未结束，组织会议的决定必须基于风险评估、风险缓解和建立风险沟通战略。即使如此，零风险也不存在，最好的办法是严格执行各项防控措施，对所有的聚会负责。
