Publications on COVID-19 and Migration Health
Repository of Research Publications on COVID-19 and Migration Health
This section features an interactive, open-source, searchable (and downloadable) repository of research publications based on a mapping exercise involving the quantitative assessment of a set of published scientific articles (i.e. bibliometric analysis) on COVID-19 in relation to migrants, migration, and human mobility.
Searching and Navigating the Database
- Enter keyword/s in the search box on the left-hand sidebar to find publications of relevance to your specific interest.
- Use the filter options on the left-hand sidebar to search through available publications (i.e., by theme/sub-theme; region/country of coverage; publication type; author/s; year of publication).

The results of your search can be downloaded as an “XLS” file. Search results will also be listed at the bottom of the page. Selecting the title of a specific publication will lead to a “download” link or a link to the website where the original document is housed.
Since Dec 2019, China has experienced an outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV. A travel ban was implemented for Wuhan, Hubei on Jan 23 to slow down the outbreak. We found a significant positive correlation between population influx from Wuhan and confirmed cases in other cities across China (R2 = 0.85, P < 0.001), especially cities in Hubei (R2 = 0.88, P < 0.001). Removing the travel restriction would have increased 118% (91%–172%) of the overall cases for the coming week… Read more
Background: The novel COVID-19 disease has spread worldwide, resulting in a new pandemic. The Chinese government implemented strong intervention measures in the early stage of the epidemic, including strict travel bans and social distancing policies. Prioritizing the analysis of different contributing factors to outbreak outcomes is important for the precise prevention and control of infectious diseases. We proposed a novel framework for resolving this issue and applied it to data from China… Read more
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan have affected more than 250 countries and regions worldwide. However, most of the clinical studies have been focused on Wuhan, and little is known about the disease outside of Wuhan in China. In this retrospective cohort study, we report the early clinical features of 80 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the hospital in Beijing. The results show that 27 (33.8%) patients had severe illness. Six (7.5%) patients were admitted to the ICU,… Read more
Passenger group in urban rail transit system under the COVID-19 epidemic was divided into susceptible, infected and exposed ones considering urban rail transit travel characters. In the research environment of COVID-19 free spread and the case sampling time of early spread, the infection probability of 0.41 was selected based on related studies. The urban rail transit ridership in COVID-19 case was divided into inbound/outbound phase and riding phase. Considering COVID-19 effective spread… Read more
