Abstract

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and its ensuing mitigation measures have negatively affected the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) population. There is currently no surveillance system established to enhance our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to guide policy decision making to protect the MCH population in this pandemic. Based on reports of community and household spread of this novel infection, we present an approach to a robust family-centered surveillance system for the MCH population. The surveillance system encapsulates data at the individual and community levels to inform stakeholders, policy makers, health officials and the general public about SARS-CoV-2 transmission dynamics within the MCH population.

COVID-19大流行期间妇幼保健(MCH)人口监测系统

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的病原体严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)及其随后的缓解措施对孕产妇和儿童健康(MCH)人口产生了负面影响。目前还没有建立监测系统来加强我们对SARS-CoV-2传播的了解，以指导政策决策，以在本次大流行中保护MCH人口。根据这种新型感染在社区和家庭传播的报告，我们提出了一种以家庭为中心的强有力的妇幼保健人口监测系统的方法。监测系统封装了个人和社区层面的数据，以便向利益攸关方、决策者、卫生官员和公众通报MCH人群中SARS-CoV-2的传播动态。
