<li><strong>Mask Using Practice among Bangladeshi Population During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Video-Based Observational Study</strong> -
<div>
Background: Although the government of Bangladesh made the use of masks mandatory in public settings during COVID-19, individuals have been reluctant to follow. We intended to know how many people used face masks in public settings during COVID-19. Methodology: This study was conducted in several public settings in Shahbag, an urban sub- district of Dhaka; and Sirajdikhan, a rural sub-district of Munshiganj in Bangladesh on November 2020. A total of 4011 people were identified from the video-graphic data captured from 20 public places for monitoring the use of masks. Finding: More than two-thirds of those observed had no face masks or did not utilize them properly. People in urban regions (43%) used mask more in an appropriate manner than those in rural areas (26%). Females wore masks comparatively more than males (53% vs. 35%, p-value &lt;0.001). People used masks more in the morning than in the afternoon (39% vs.  34%, p-value &lt;0.001). People were seen to use a mask more in hospital areas (60%) than in other places. However, in public transportation stands only one-fourth (25%) of the people wore a mask in an appropriate manner. In binary logistic regression male sex, rural area, public places and time of observation (afternoon) were found as risk factors for not wearing a mask. Interpretation: The general population of both rural and urban areas of Bangladesh is reluctant to wear face masks. Along with the ongoing vaccination campaign, people of Bangladesh need to wear masks for the prevention of COVID-19. Funding: This research has been partially supported by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University.

<li><strong>Risk perception, illusory superiority, and personal responsibility during COVID-19: An experimental study of attitudes to staying home</strong> -
<div>
Individual decision-making about social distancing, self-quarantine and self-isolation is crucial in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. In the rapidly evolving pandemic, little is known about how different government communication strategies may systematically affect peoples attitudes to staying home or going out, nor the extent to which people perceive and process the risk of different scenarios. In this study, we report results from a sample of 581 participants (residing in the United Kingdom), and we examine the degree to which participants attitudes regarding the permissibility of leaving ones home are (1) sensitive to different levels of risk of viral transmission in specific scenarios, (2) sensitive to communication framings that are either imperative or that invite reasoning about scenarios, or (3) creating “loopholes” for themselves when scenarios are framed with reference to the participants themselves rather than in general terms. We find that participants attitudes to social distancing are sensitive to the level of risk of transmission, and that when scenarios are framed in imperative terms, rather than when their reasoning is encouraged, participants have more impermissive attitudes to going out in Minimal Risk scenarios, with a trend of decreased permissiveness more generally; for self-loopholes, more research is needed to determine if participants make exceptions for themselves. Thus, subject to the limitations of this study, during phases where it is important to promote self-isolation for all scenarios, including those perceived to be low risk, imperative communication may be best.

<li><strong>Perceptions and illusions of students regarding presumably undetected cheating during the COVID-19 pandemic in Greece</strong> -
<div>
The present study constitutes a preliminary research on the attitudes and perceptions of students in Greece concerning cheating in exams and plagiarism in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey conducted among 578 students shows a sharp increase in the employment of underhanded means by students towards attaining better grades in the exams. These findings need to be evaluated by the academic community to put a check on the rising number of instances of academic fraud.

<li><strong>Changes in youth mental health, psychological wellbeing, and substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic: A rapid review</strong> -
<div>
Background: The focus of this review was to assess changes in youth mental health, psychological wellbeing, or substance use, as well as changes or disruptions to the delivery of mental health or substance use services for young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: We conducted a rapid review of the literature on our outcomes of interest among youth (age &lt;=25) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary studies and systematic reviews on change were eligible for inclusion. Searches were conducted in PubMed and Embase in May 2021, and two reviewers screened studies for inclusion. We report results using a narrative synthesis. Results: We included 156 primary publications. A variety of methods were used to assess change, including prospective assessment of longitudinal cohorts, retrospective recall by participants in cross-sectional and qualitative studies, and comparison of peri-pandemic data to pre-pandemic normative values. Publications regarding mental health (n = 121) and psychological wellbeing (n = 26) generally indicated poor outcomes during the pandemic period. Publications on substance use (n = 41) revealed overall declines or unchanged patterns of use, though certain groups reported increased or problematic use. Studies of service delivery (n = 11) indicated a generally positive reception for helplines and telehealth, although some youth experienced difficulties accessing mental health services. Conclusions: The evidence indicates negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on young peoples mental health, although declines in alcohol and nicotine use were also found. Services will need to continue to adapt as the pandemic progresses, particularly to support disadvantaged youth who lack access to telehealth resources.

<li><strong>Adolescents Social Environment and Executive Functions Predict Long-term Mental Health and Feelings of Future Uncertainty Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic</strong> -
<div>
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted adolescents mental health (i.e. mood and life satisfaction). Some adolescents are at risk to be disproportionally hit by the pandemic due to vulnerabilities in their social environment. In the present longitudinal study, we explored adolescents mood trajectories throughout the pandemic, and whether vulnerabilities in the social environment (i.e. household and socioeconomic hardship) predicted adolescents mental health directly and indirectly through feelings of uncertainty about the future. We also investigated whether executive functions and age buffered these relationships. In total, 177 Dutch-speaking adolescents aged 10 18 years (Mage = 15.64, SDage = 1.72, 80% females at T1) participated in all three waves (T1= May 2020, T2 = November 2020, T3 = May 2021) of an online survey. Mood results demonstrated that feelings of vigor stabilized, after an initial dip between T1 and T2, but that feelings of tension and depression continued to increase throughout the pandemic. Higher exposure to household and socioeconomic hardship predicted negative mood and lower life satisfaction and was mediated by feelings of uncertainty about the future. Irrespective of the exposure to household and socioeconomic hardship, adolescents with better executive functions reported better mood in the aftermath of the pandemic, partially due to lower feelings of future uncertainty. However, no associations were observed with life satisfaction. These novel findings imply that adolescents mental health issues may outlast the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, executive functioning is a protective factor operating via feelings of future uncertainty, which makes them promising mechanistic targets for intervention.

<li data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom"><strong>Predicting self-harm and suicide ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia: A brief report of nationwide survey</strong> -
<div>
Background: It is estimated that 77.0% of suicide cases occurred in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), which would increase because of the COVID-19 pandemic and socioeconomic inequity. However, there is lack of reports on this topic from LMICs, especially during the pandemic. Therefore, this nationwide study aimed to explore self-harm and suicide ideation and its predictive variables during the pandemic in Indonesia as a MIC with the highest COVID-19 fatality rate in Asia. Methods: Non-random sampling online survey was conducted nationwide between 25 May and 16 June</div></li>
</ul>
<ol start="2021" type="1">
<li>The collected data were demographic variables (i.e. age group), loneliness from social isolation using The UCLA Loneliness Scale Six Items (ULS-6), and self-harm and suicide ideation using item 9 of The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Predictive model was analyzed using hierarchical logistic regression. Results: A total of 5,211 participants from all 34 provinces in Indonesia completed the survey. Among 39.3% of them reported self-harm and suicide ideation during the pandemic, which significantly correlated with loneliness. The predictive variables associated with the likelihood of self-harm and suicide ideation were age, residence, job, religion, sex-gender, sexual orientation, HIV status, disability status, and loneliness. The predictive model showed a significant goodness-of-fit to the observed data (x2(15) = 1,803.46, p&lt;.001), RN2 = .40. Conclusion: Four out of 10 Indonesians experienced self-harm and suicide ideation during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly people within the age range of 18-24, living in the Java Island, unemployed/student/retired and freelancer, women, members of minority and marginalized communities, and experience of loneliness during the pandemic.

<li><strong>Examining the Relationships between Individualism, Collectivism, Perceived Vulnerability, and Mental and Behavioral Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic</strong> -
<div>
The COVID-19 pandemic has had massive global consequences that call for a better understanding of factors relating to peoples mental and behavioral responses. The present study explored factors that have been examined in past pandemics and expanded upon previous findings. We explored the links between individualistic/collectivistic orientations, germ aversion, and perceived infectability to individual worry and actions related to the pandemic. Using data collected via an online survey (N = 433, M age = 33.18, SD = 15.42), a series of hierarchical regressions and mediation tests were conducted. The results revealed that collectivistic orientation related to both actions and worry, and that worry mediated the association between collectivism and actions. Additionally, while germ aversion and perceived infectability were both significantly related to higher levels of worry, only germ aversion significantly related to higher levels of action-taking. Our findings suggest that messages centered around collectivistic values and germ aversion might improve adherence to public health guidelines.

<li><strong>Keeping the kids home: Increasing concern for others in times of crisis</strong> -
<div>
During the COVID-19 pandemic social consequences in day-to-day decisions might not have been salient to the decider and thus egoistic. How can prosocial intentions be increased? In an experimental vignette study with N = 206, we compared the likelihood that parents send sick children to kindergarten after four interventions (general information about COVID-19, empathy, reflection of consequences via mental simulation, and control group). Independent of the intervention, empathic concern with individuals who were affected by COVID-19 and the salience of social consequences were high. The reported likelihood of sending a sick child to kindergarten was somewhat reduced in the control group and even more reduced in the reflection and empathy group, but not in the information group.

Background: Internet cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) for health anxiety has demonstrated efficacy but has not been evaluated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study presents the first evaluation of the uptake and outcomes of iCBT for health anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: THIS WAY UP is an Australian digital mental health service which delivers iCBT interventions to community members. We compared the uptake of THIS WAY UPs iCBT course for health anxiety in an Australian adult sample who started the course before the pandemic (12th September 2019 to 11th March</div></li>
</ul>
<ol start="2020" type="1">
<li>to during the pandemic (12th March to 11th June 2020). The course was accessible to Australian adults over 18 years old, with no inclusion criteria. Outcomes included course registrations and commencements, lesson and course completion, and self-reported health anxiety (Short Health Anxiety Inventory), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item) and distress (Kessler-10). Results: From March to June 2020, we observed significant increases in course registrations (N=238 vs N=1057); and course commencements (N=126 vs. N= 778). Large, significant improvements in health anxiety (g= 0.89), and distress (K10: g=0.91), and medium improvements in depression (g=0.55) were found. Course completion during COVID was 30.5%. Conclusions: iCBT improved health anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provides scalable intervention that can address increased demands for mental health services in the community.

<li><strong>Spike protein cleavage-activation mediated by the SARS-CoV-2 P681R mutation: a case-study from its first appearance in variant of interest (VOI) A.23.1 identified in Uganda</strong> -
<div>
The African continent like all other parts of the world with high infection/low vaccination rates can, and will, be a source of novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. The A.23 viral lineage, characterized by three spike mutations F157L, V367F and Q613H, was first identified in COVID-19 cases from a Ugandan prison in July 2020, and then was identified in the general population with additional spike mutations (R102I, L141F, E484K and P681R) to comprise lineage A.23.1 by September 2020, with this virus being designated a variant of interest (VOI) in Africa and with subsequent spread to 26 other countries. The P681R spike substitution of the A.23.1 VOI is of note as it increases the number of basic residues in the sub-optimal SARS-CoV-2 spike protein furin cleavage site; as such, this substitution may affect viral replication, transmissibility or pathogenic properties. The same P681R substitution has also appeared in B.1.617 variants, including B.1.617.2 (Delta). Here, we performed assays using fluorogenic peptides mimicking the S1/S2 sequence from A.23.1 and B.1.617.2 and observed significantly increased cleavability with furin, compared to sequences derived from the original Wuhan-Hu1 S1/S2. We performed functional infectivity assays using pseudotyped MLV particles harboring SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins and observed an increase in transduction for A.23.1-pseudotyped particles compared to Wuhan-Hu-1 in Vero- TMPRSS2 and Calu-3 cells (with a presumed early entry pathway), although lowered infection in Vero E6 cells (with a presumed late entry pathway). However, these changes in infectivity were not reproduced in the original Wuhan-Hu-1 spike bearing only the P681R substitution. Our findings suggest that while A.23.1 has increased furin-mediated cleavage linked to the P681R substitution, which may affect viral infection and transmissibility, this substitution alone is not sufficient and needs to occur on the background of other spike protein changes to enable its full functional consequences.

<li><strong>The temperature-dependent conformational ensemble of SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro)</strong> -
<div>
The COVID-19 pandemic, instigated by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, continues to plague the globe. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease, or Mpro, is a promising target for development of novel antiviral therapeutics. Previous X-ray crystal structures of Mpro were obtained at cryogenic temperature or room temperature only. Here we report a series of high- resolution crystal structures of unliganded Mpro across multiple temperatures from cryogenic to physiological, and another at high humidity. We interrogate these datasets with parsimonious multiconformer models, multi-copy ensemble models, and isomorphous difference density maps. Our analysis reveals a temperature-dependent conformational landscape for Mpro, including a mobile water interleaved between the catalytic dyad, mercurial conformational heterogeneity in a key substrate-binding loop, and a far-reaching intramolecular network bridging the active site and dimer interface. Our results may inspire new strategies for antiviral drug development to counter-punch COVID-19 and combat future coronavirus pandemics.

<li><strong>SARS-CoV-2 spike-glycoprotein processing at S1/S2 and S2 and shedding of the ACE2 viral receptor: roles of Furin and TMPRSS2 and implications for viral infectivity and cell-to-cell fusion</strong> -
<div>
The Spike (S)-protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds host-cell receptor ACE2 and requires proteolytic priming at PRRAR685{downarrow} into S1 and S2 (cleavage at S1/S2), and fusion-activation at KPSKR815{downarrow} (cleavage at S2) for viral entry. In vitro, Furin cleaved peptides mimicking the S1/S2 cleavage site more efficiently than at the putative S2, whereas TMPRSS2 inefficiently cleaved both sites. In HeLa cells Furin-like enzymes mainly cleaved at S1/S2 during intracellular protein trafficking, and S2 processing by Furin at KPSKR815{downarrow} was strongly enhanced by ACE2, but not for the optimized S2 KRRKR815{downarrow} mutant (S2), whereas individual/double KR815AA mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Pharmacological Furin-inhibitors (Boston Pharmaceuticals, BOS-inhibitors) effectively blocked endogenous S-protein processing in HeLa cells. Furthermore, we show using pseudotyped viruses that while entry by a pH-dependent endocytosis pathway in HEK293 cells did not require Furin processing at S1/S2, a pH- independent viral entry in lung-derived Calu-3 cells was sensitive to inhibitors of Furin (BOS) and TMPRSS2 (Camostat). Consistently, these inhibitors potently reduce infectious viral titer and cytopathic effects, an outcome enhanced when both compounds were combined. Quantitative analyses of cell-to-cell fusion and spike processing revealed the key importance of the Furin sites for syncytia formation. Our assays showed that TMPRSS2 enhances fusion and proteolysis at S2 in the absence of cleavage at S1/S2, an effect that is linked to ACE2 shedding by TMPRSS2. Overall, our results indicate that Furin and TMPRSS2 play synergistic roles in generating fusion-competent S-protein, and in promoting viral entry, supporting the combination of Furin and TMPRSS2 inhibitors as potent antivirals against SARS- CoV-2.

<li><strong>VIP plasma levels associate with survival in severe COVID-19 patients, correlating with protective effects in SARS- CoV-2-infected cells.</strong> -
<div>
Infection by SARS-CoV-2 may elicit uncontrolled and damaging inflammatory responses. Thus, it is critical to identify compounds able to inhibit virus replication and thwart the inflammatory reaction. Here, we show that the plasma levels of the immunoregulatory neuropeptide VIP are elevated in patients with severe COVID-19, correlating with reduced inflammatory mediators and with survival on those patients. In vitro, VIP and PACAP, highly similar neuropeptides, decreased the SARS-CoV-2 genome replication in human monocytes and viral production in lung epithelial cells, also reducing cell death. Both neuropeptides inhibited the production of proinflammatory mediators in lung epithelial cells and in monocytes. VIP and PACAP prevented in monocytes the SARS-CoV-2-induced activation of NF-kB and SREBP1 and SREBP2, transcriptions factors involved in proinflammatory reactions and lipid metabolism, respectively. They also promoted CREB activation, a transcription factor with antiapoptotic activity and negative regulator of NF-kB. Specific inhibition of NF-kB and SREBP1/2 reproduced the anti-inflammatory, antiviral and cell death protection effects of VIP and PACAP. Our results support further clinical investigations of these neuropeptides against COVID-19.

<li><strong>Spatially distributed infection increases viral load in a computational model of SARS-CoV-2 lung infection</strong> -
<div>
A key question in SARS-CoV-2 infection is why viral loads and patient outcomes vary dramatically across individuals. Because spatial-temporal dynamics of viral spread and immuneresponse are challenging to study in vivo, we developed Spatial Immune Model of Coronavirus(SIMCoV), a scalable computational model that simulates hundreds of millions of lung cells, including respiratory epithelial cells and T cells. SIMCoV replicates viral growth dynamics observed in patients and shows how spatially dispersed infections can lead to increased viral loads. The model also shows how the timing and strength of the T cell response can affect viral persistence, oscillations, and control. By incorporating spatial interactions, SIMCoV provides a parsimonious explanation for the dramatically different viral load trajectories among patients by varying only the number of initial sites of infection, and the magnitude and timing of the T cell immune response. When the branching airway structure of the lung is explicitly represented, we find that virus spreads faster than in a 2D layer of epithelial cells, but much more slowly than in an undifferentiated 3D grid or in a well-mixed ODE model. These results illustrate how realistic spatially explicit computational models can improve understanding of within-host dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

<li><strong>Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 Entry, Inflammation and New Therapeutics in Human Lung Tissue Cells</strong> -
<div>
The development of physiological models that reproduce SARS-CoV-2 infection in primary human cells will be instrumental to identify host-pathogen interactions and potential therapeutics. Here, using cell suspensions directly from primary human lung tissues (HLT), we have developed a rapid platform for the identification of viral targets and the expression of viral entry factors, as well as for the screening of viral entry inhibitors and anti-inflammatory compounds. The direct use of HLT cells, without long-term cell culture and in vitro differentiation approaches, preserves main immune and structural cell populations, including the most susceptible cell targets for SARS-CoV-2; alveolar type II (AT-II) cells, while maintaining the expression of proteins involved in viral infection, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, CD147 and AXL. Further, antiviral testing of 39 drug candidates reveals a highly reproducible method, suitable for different SARS-CoV-2 variants, and provides the identification of new compounds missed by conventional systems, such as VeroE6. Using this method, we also show that interferons do not modulate ACE2 expression, and that stimulation of local inflammatory responses can be modulated by different compounds with antiviral activity. Overall, we present a relevant and rapid method for the study of SARS-CoV-2.
