Lifting COVID-19-associated non-pharmaceutical interventions: potential impact on notifications of infectious diseases transmitted from person to person in 2022 in Bavaria, Germany by Judith Hausmann, Judith Hausmann, Judith Hausmann, Achim Dörre, Katharina Katz, Sarah van de Berg

“…By analysing surveillance data from the federal reporting system for notifiable infectious diseases, we aimed to assess the potential impact of lifting COVID-19 associated NPIs on notifications of selected infectious diseases in Bavaria, 2022.MethodsWe compared influenza, chickenpox, norovirus gastroenteritis, rotavirus gastroenteritis weekly case numbers in a pre-pandemic period (2016–2019) and 2022 using two time series analyses approaches: (i) a predictive model forecasting weekly case numbers for the pandemic years 2020–2022, based on 2016–2019 data, (ii) interrupted time series model, based on 2016–2022 data, including a term per pandemic period.ResultsIn 2022, incidence rates were higher compared to pre-pandemic period for influenza (IRR = 3.47, 95%CI: 1.49–7.94) and rotavirus gastroenteritis (IRR = 1.36, 95%CI: 0.95–1.93), though not significant for rotavirus gastroenteritis. …”
