Viral determinants of acute COVID-19 symptoms in a non-hospitalized adult population in the pre-Omicron era, 2023.07.24,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad396 .
This article found evidence to support the association of viral RNA load and infectious virus on some, but not all symptoms. Fever was most strongly associated with the presence of infectious virus; this may support the potential for symptom-based isolation guidance for COVID-19.

Association between duration of SARS-CoV-2 positivity and long COVID, 2023.07.22,
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad434 .
This article found that the likelihood of developing long COVID in infected individuals rises with the increasing of duration of infection and that three doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine are protective, even during the Omicron wave.

Partnerships between police and GBV service providers in remote, rural, and island communities in northern Scotland before and during COVID-19, 2023.07.28,
https://doi.org/10.1093/police/paad045 .
This article found a lack of training for officers with no specific GBV role as particularly problematic during the pandemic when officers on the ground in rural and remote Scotland had to take over work usually undertaken by specialist task forces.

Mass tuberculosis screening among the elderly: A population-based study in a well-confined rural county in eastern China, 2023.07.28,
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciad438 .
This article found that, in a population-based, mass tuberculosis screening intervention encompassing over 30% of the elderly population in rural China, case finding was 44% higher than background detection, driven by diagnosis of asymptomatic tuberculosis. Importantly, mass screening identified tuberculosis in people with limited healthcare options that were less likely to be found through background detection.
