Nucleoprotein (N)
Multiple copies of the N protein link together to form a spiral that tightly wraps
and coils the RNA. This allows the long RNA molecule to fit into the small virus
particle and forms a protein coat around the RNA that protects it from damage.
The N protein also has an important function in the early stages of infection
when the RNA molecule is first released into the host cell, acting to reduce the
cell’s natural defences against the virus.

"The best way not to have long COVID is not to have COVID at
all," says Leora Horwitz, MD, a professor of population health and
medicine at New York University's Grossman School of Medicine.
"To the extent that vaccination can prevent you from getting
COVID at all, then it helps to reduce long COVID."
And just as vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease,
hospitalization and death, they also seem to reduce the risk of
long COVID if people do get breakthrough infections. People with
more serious initial illness appear more likely to have prolonged
symptoms, but those with milder disease can certainly get it, too.
"You're more likely to have long COVID with more severe disease,
and we have ample evidence that vaccination reduces the
severity of disease," Horwitz says. "We also now have quite a lot
of evidence that vaccination does reduce your risk of long
COVID – probably because it reduces your risk of severe disease."
There is little consensus about how much vaccines can lower the
risk of long-term COVID symptoms, but several studies suggest
that number lies anywhere from 15% to more than 60%.

Policy Process
Lessons learnt
101
4 common types : public policies, organization policies, functional policies and specific policy.
Important because they help establish guidelines that benefits patients, healthcare organizations
and healthcare system.
Might include a bunch of sub-policies, for example Isolation policy, quarantine policy. Mandatory
testing policy, school policy, public premises policy, drug policies, vaccine policy, vaccine pass
policy and infringement policy.
Might need to be modified in the light of new information and changing needs.

Policy Evaluation
a. Define the purpose of the evaluation, who is requesting the information, why
the information is needed and how it is to be used.
b. Collect and analyze systematically the appropriate steps of the policy cycle to
make judgements about contexts, activities, characteristics, impact and
outcomes (short term, intermediate and long term) of the policy.
c. Evaluate whether principles of healthcare policy are met
d. Disseminate evaluation results and facilitate use to relevant parties
e. Build the capacity of others to evaluate policy and invite feedbacks
f. Use evaluation results to improve policy development, adoption,
implementation, and effectiveness, and builds the evidence base for policy
interventions and future directions
g. Evaluation might be needed periodically or permanently deleted

TRACKING PROGRESS
1. Communicating vital signs simply. Also provide access to data
and allow persons to determine their own risk appetites.
2. Reinforcing health data infrastructure and public-health
surveillance systems.
a.Public-health surveillance, with tracking and early
intervention of any new variants
b.Early detection and monitoring
c.A broader set of bioinformatics tools (such as genomic
sequencing to detect variant mutations and wastewater-
monitoring systems to detect community transmission).

Slowing transmission
l Fundamental principles for enabling a robust public life:
n maximize ability to detect disease outbreaks, public-health surveillance to be always on
by continuously monitoring for outbreaks (prioritize more passive surveillance
approaches that minimize impacts on individuals) through a broad set of tools (such as
wastewater surveillance and sampled testing).
n minimize the time needed to coordinate and mobilize resources (Agile rapid-response
teams, include testing, therapeutic interventions, securing hospital and staffing
resources , and developing safe interaction policies). Governments could work with
community stakeholders (such as schools, employers, and faith-based organizations) to
develop scenarios
n Promoting NPI that reduce local transmission. (Mask use in crowded areas; Social
distancing; outdoor dining). Investing in infrastructure that reduces disease transmission
(such as air quality infrastructure in schools and workplaces) is another consideration.
