Covid-19: Border workers should be tested weekly to stamp out outbreaks – study


Abigail Dougherty/Stuff
The ventiation system at the Grand Mercure Hotel in Britomart, Auckland, is currently under review.
It is currently a legal requirement for some frontline border workers, including those working at quarantine facilities like Jet Park Hotel and some port workers, to be tested every week.
It has also emerged that a security guard at the Grand Millennium Hotel, who tested positive earlier this month, had not been tested since November.
His employer, First Security, said the Ministry of Health’s border worker testing system “did not flag this guard as non-compliant until 26th March, at which time the follow-up process began”.

Study reveals how neural systems process and store information


Study reveals how neural systems process and store information
Research breakthrough in understanding how neural systems process and store information.
A team of scientists from the University of Exeter and the University of Auckland have made a breakthrough in the quest to better understand how neural systems are able to process and store information.
The researchers, including lead author Dr Kyle Wedgwood from the University of Exeter's Living Systems Institute, have made a significant discovery in how a single cell can store electrical patterns, similar to memories.
They compared sophisticated mathematical modelling to lab-based experiments to determine how different parameters, such as how long it takes for neuronal signals to be processed and how sensitive a cell is to external signals, affect how neural systems encode information.

The research team found that a single neuron is able to select between different patterns, dependent on the properties of each individual stimulus.

Facebook movement data could help find new Covid-19 locations, study finds


The research found locations where people had predictable and periodic movement – such as travelling to and from work – provided more useful indicators of virus spread than social settings. In the case studies, the data was therefore more useful in predicting virus spread in the Cedar Meats outbreak than the Crossroads Hotel outbreak.
When it came to analysing Victoria’s second wave, which started with the confined suburb lockdowns in late June and early July, the analysis found mobility data could have alerted the government the spread had already moved beyond the suburbs initially confined to lockdown.
“Our examination of the second wave of community transmission in Victoria showed that several weeks before it was recognised, the spatial distribution of a small number of active cases was indicative of the outbreak distribution more than 30 days later when interventions were introduced,” the researchers said in the paper.
