The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected certain groups, such as older
people (ie, >65 years), minority ethnic populations, and people with specific chronic
conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and some respiratory
diseases. There is now evidence of not only direct but also indirect adverse effects
of COVID-19 in people with diabetes. Recurrent lockdowns and public health measures
throughout the pandemic have restricted access to routine diabetes care, limiting
new diagnoses, and affecting self-management, routine follow-ups, and access to medications,
as well as affecting lifestyle behaviours and emotional wellbeing globally.

A new study has revealed that the Ebola virus can be found in the semen of survivors, six months after infection.
The researchers also found that longer persistence of the virus was significantly associated with severe acute EVD and older age.
The study, published in an open-access peer-reviewed journal, PLOS Medicine, was titled ‘Persistence of Ebola virus in semen among Ebola virus disease survivors in Sierra Leone: A cohort study of frequency, duration, and risk factors.’
The study was led by A. E. Thorson of the Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research, World Health Organisation.
