Against an emerging, highly transmissible disease with no definitive treatment or vaccine, governments worldwide have implemented non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) to slow the spread of the virus. Examples of such interventions include community actions (e.g. school closures, restrictions on mass gatherings), individual actions (e.g. mask wearing, self-quarantine), and environmental actions (e.g. public facility cleaning). We present the Worldwide Non-pharmaceutical Interventions Tracker for COVID-19 (WNTRAC), a comprehensive dataset consisting of over 6,000 NPIs implemented worldwide since the start of the pandemic. WNTRAC covers NPIs implemented across 261 countries and territories, and classifies NPI measures into a taxonomy of sixteen NPI types. NPI measures are automatically extracted daily from Wikipedia articles using natural language processing techniques and manually validated to ensure accuracy and veracity. We hope that the dataset is valuable for policymakers, public health leaders, and researchers in modeling and analysis efforts for controlling the spread of COVID-19.

  • Andorra and Its Financial System 2008
    ANDORRA i el seu Sistema Financer and its Financial System 2008 2008 and its Financial System i el seu Sistema Financer / Financer Sistema seu i el A ANDORR A BA ASSOCIACIÓ DE BANCS ANDORRANS A BA ASSOCIACIÓ DE BANCS ANDORRANS ANDORRA and its Financial System PRESENTATION During 2008 the worldwide economy has undergone a change in cycle, with the majority of countries plunging into a serious economic recession originating from the crisis in international financial mar- kets. Consequently, investors and consumers have lost confidence at global level. The actual GDP of advanced economies has therefore dropped by 7.50% in the last quarter of 2008. Forecasts for 2009 show a 1.30% reduction in the GDP and a gradual recovery for 2010, with growth of 1.90%. The US economy has possibly been that which has most suffered the consequences of the growing financial tension and the ongoing slow down of the construction sector. Nevertheless, Western Europe and the advanced economies of Asia have also been seriously jeopardised by the collapse of the worldwide economy, the worsening of their financial problems and, in certain cases, changes in the real estate sector. The economies of emerging countries have also experienced serious problems, reporting a 4% de- cline during the last quarter of 2008. This situation has particularly affected East Asian countries which mainly depend on exports of manufacturers and those of emerging countries of Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), growth of which is closely related to capital inflows. The rapid slowdown in worldwide activity has coincided with depleted inflationary pressure.

  • Mobility and COVID-19 in Andorra: Country-Scale Analysis of High-Resolution Mobility Patterns and Infection Spread

No reuse allowed without permission. Mobility and COVID-19 in Andorra: Country-scale analysis of high-resolution mobility patterns and infection spread Ronan Doorley, Alex Berke, Ariel Noyman, Luis Alonso, Josep Rib´o, Vanesa Arroyo, Marc Pons, Kent Larson ∗† February 23, 2021 Abstract In the absence of e↵ective vaccines, non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mobility restrictions, were globally adopted as critically important strategies for curbing the spread of COVID-19. However, such interven- tions come with immense social and economic costs and the relative ef- fectiveness of di↵erent mobility restrictions are not well understood. This study analyzed uniquely comprehensive datasets for the entirety of a small country, consisting of serology data, telecoms data, and COVID-19 case reports, in order to examine the relationship between mobility and trans- mission of COVID-19. Andorra is a small European country where tourism is a large part of the economy. Stringent mobility restrictions were put in place in Spring 2020. Additionally, 91% of the population participated in a voluntary COVID-19 serology testing programme and those data were made avail- able for this study. Furthermore, high resolution telecoms data for the entire population were available for analysis of mobility and proximity patterns. A set of mobility metrics were developed to indicate levels of crowding, stay-at-home rates, trip-making and contact with tourists.
