Contact Tracing in Singapore
Building Blocks of COVID-19 Management in Singapore
   Prevent: “safe management measures” in place to circumvent
    transmission, border control to reduce importation
   Detect: case finding and comprehensive surveillance, increased testing
    capacity (by > 10x) and capability
   Care: strengthened healthcare capacity and resources, invested in
    vaccine/treatment research and deployment
   Contain: enhanced contact tracing to find cases early and probe
    networks surrounding those cases, quarantine capacity and capability

Contact Tracing
   Mapping occurs in backward direction to discern the infection source
    and in forward direction to identify contacts subsequently exposed
   Lab alert of     Movement and      Query whether        Engage         Enact appropriate public
     positive       interactions of    case linked to    contacts to       health measures to halt
  COVID-19 test      case patient     known clusters       confirm      additional transmission events
                      mapped via                        exposure and      (ie, quarantine or phone
                       interview                        assess health      surveillance of contacts)

   Novel technologies being used in contact tracing efforts
         ‒ SafeEntry app with check-in at venues, CCTV records, geospatial-temporal
           mapping by IT analysts to identify clusters, TraceTogether token or app
           based on Bluetooth signals shared between users

Quarantine Logistics
   Electronic quarantine order (eQO) delivered via SMS, individual able to sign
    declaration form remotely
         ‒ Homer app then prompts quarantined individual to report temperature and
           health status every 3 hrs, reports GPS-based location every 5 mins
   Between April 1 and September 14, 2020, 18,757 persons quarantined based
    on exposure to 2325 community cases
         ‒ 337 individuals became subsequent cases after isolation

   Inpatient Population in Basel, Switzerland
    All adult patients admitted to               N = 4466 samples from 4099 patients
     University Hospital Basel, Switzerland,        ‒ 25 (0.6%) positive for SARS-CoV-2
     April 1 - June 14, 2020, were screened
     for SARS-CoV-2 within 72 hrs of                ‒ Asymptomatic: 3722 (90.8%) patients
     admission                                      ‒ 6 patients positive for SARS-CoV-2
    Asymptomatic vs symptomatic                      were asymptomatic
     determination made by retrospective               ‒ 27% of all positive patients
     classification criteria:                          ‒ 0.16% of all asymptomatic patients
          ‒ Acute pulmonary symptoms ±            Proportion of asymptomatic patients
          ‒ Fever ≥ 38.0°C ±                       among SARS-CoV-2 infected
          ‒ Sudden onset anosmia or ageusia ±      remained similar over time even

Prevalence of Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 Infections in
   Inpatient Population in Basel, Switzerland
    Systematic screening detected low but constant proportion of
     asymptomatic carriers
          ‒ Suggests unfavorable cost–benefit ratio of universal screening
          ‒ Supports need for universal infection prevention and control strategies
    Potential study limitations
          ‒ Patients classified retrospectively
          ‒ Unable to distinguish asymptomatic vs presymptomatic patients
          ‒ Restricted to inpatient population

Correlating Pathology With Viral
Localization in Tissues and Cells
Pathology Findings in COVID-19: Background
   COVID-19 spectrum in mainland China through February 11, 2020 (N = 44,415):
    81% mild, 14% severe, 5% critical[1]
   Clinical–therapeutic staging proposed, based on successive disease states
    experienced during COVID-19: (1) early infection, (2) pulmonary phase, and
    (3) hyperinflammation phase[2]
          ‒ Antiviral, convalescent plasma use suggested throughout; immune-targeted
            therapeutics reserved for mid to late stages
   Diabetes, HTN, COPD, and coronary heart disease commonly occur in COVID-19
    patients with severe disease, those requiring hospitalization[3,4]
   Endothelial cells hypothesized to play essential role in onset and maintenance of
    severe COVID-19 via vascular leakage, coagulation, and inflammation[5]

Signs of Endothelial Cell Disruption During COVID-19
   Endotheliitis in the lung, small intestine, kidney, myocardium, and liver
   Small thrombi in the lung and small intestine with mesenteric ischemia
   Apoptosis of endothelial cells (measurable via caspase 3 staining) also
    prominent in the lung and small intestine

Broad Organotropism of SARS-CoV-2
    SARS-CoV-2 detected by RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, and IHC/IF across
     organs in postmortem FFPE tissue samples[1-3]
          ‒ Localizes virus predominantly to the lung with lower concentrations
            observed in the heart, kidney, liver, spleen, brain, and blood
          ‒ EM also a valuable tool for visualizing viral infection[4]
    Pairing viral tropism data with morphologic findings may yield a better
     understanding of SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology

Pulmonary Pathology: Progression During COVID-19
    Pulmonary observations for 4 fatal COVID-19 cases in Tübingen, Germany[1]
          ‒ Early disease: neutrophilic, exudative capillaritis with microthrombosis, copious
            IL-1β and IL-6
          ‒ Subsequently: diffuse alveolar damage, intravascular thrombosis in
            small/medium vessels, occasional infarction, lab features of DIC
          ‒ Late stages: organizing pneumonia with intraalveolar fibroblast proliferation,
            marked metaplasia of alveolar epithelium, mutiorgan failure
    Viral RNA present in the lung (eg, endothelial cells and pneumocytes)[1-3]
    Organ involvement coincident with clinical involvement/organ damage[1-3]

Ethical Considerations for the
     Elderly in COVID-19
Considerations on Aging and COVID-19
    Aging is heterogeneous with variable effects of genetic, socioeconomic, and
     behavioral factors[1]
          ‒ In 2018, 88% of persons ≥ 75 yrs of age in US had no limitation in activities of
            daily living[2]
    Potential for single trigger to cause disproportionate complications[3]
          ‒ Iatrogenic events, healthcare-associated infection, falls, malnutrition,
            immobilization or pressure sores, delirium or behavioral disorders, exacerbation
            of chronic disease
    Atypical COVID-19 presentation in older patients with sizeable rates of
     hospitalization and death; many infections arising in nursing homes[4,5]
          ‒ In context of stressed healthcare system, pushes clinicians to determine if age
            should be a primary criterion in medical care decision-making

Adapting Logistics of Medical Care During COVID-19
   During COVID-19 pandemic, potential for ICUs to become overwhelmed
    despite surge strategies in place[1]
   May be necessary to develop triage policy to prioritize patients (eg, by age
    for ICU admission) and ration resources[1]
   Key unknowns[1]
          ‒ Effect of long-term hospitalization or ICU stay on older populations
          ‒ Age limit for full recovery or benefit from hospitalization
   In single French LTCF, at least 24 COVID-19–related deaths over 5 days[2]
          ‒ Most attributed to hypovolemic shock, no ARDS observed; providers lacked
            protective masks, were overworked due to 40% staff absenteeism rate leading
            to patient neglect

Social Determinants of Health in COVID-19
COVID-19 in São Paulo Slums
    Slums defined by: high population density, low per capita income,
     absence of basic urban infrastructure (garbage collection, basic
     sanitation)
    In Brazil, > 11 million people live in slums
    Higher social vulnerability co-maps with more COVID-19 deaths in
     São Paulo slums
          ‒ Underscores need to direct more effective public policies for disease
            mitigation toward vulnerable groups
