Abstract | Within half a year, COVID-19 spreads to most countries in the world, as well as posed a great threat to the public health of human beings. The implementation of non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI), including travel ban, proved to be an effective way for controlling the epidemic spreading, e.g., the ban of inter-city transportation stops transporting virus through passengers between cities. However, travel ban could significantly impact many industries, e.g. tourism and logistics, thus jeopardizing the regional economy. This paper focus on assisting the national or regional government to make dynamic decisions on restricting and recovering intercity multi-modal travel services. Our model can characterize impacts of inter-city traffic on the spread of the COVID-19, as well as on the regional economy. By applying a reinforcement learning approach, we develop an online optimization model to identify the modal-specific travel banning strategy that can balance the epidemic control as well as the negative impacts on regional economy. The numerical study based on a network of multiple cities in China shows that the proposed approach can generate better strategies compared with some existing methods. |

Abstract | En mars 2020, dans le but d’endiguer la pandémie de COVID-19, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé des mesures qui ont eu pour effet de restreindre l’entrée au Canada à des visiteurs et autres résidents temporaires ainsi qu’à certains citoyens canadiens et résidents permanents. Certaines de ces mesures ont aussi affecté le transport des biens, c’est-à-dire les marchandises, les produits, les articles et le matériel. L’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada (ASFC), qui facilite la circulation des biens et des personnes aux frontières du Canada, est responsable de la mise en œuvre de ces mesures. |

Abstract | COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge that the world had never encountered in the last 100 years. In order to mitigate its negative effects, governments worldwide took action by prohibiting at first certain activities and in some cases by a countrywide lockdown. Greece was among the countries that were struck by the pandemic. Governmental authorities took action in limiting the spread of the pandemic through a series of countermeasures, which built up to a countrywide lockdown that lasted 42 days. |

Abstract | In Switzerland, strict measures as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic were imposed on March 16, 2020, before being gradually relaxed from May 11 onwards. We report the impact of these measures on mobility behaviour based on a GPS tracking panel of 1439 Swiss residents. The participants were also exposed to online questionnaires. The impact of both the lockdown and the relaxation of the measures up until the middle of August 2020 are presented. Reductions of around 60% in the average daily distance were observed, with decreases of over 90% for public transport. Cycling increased in mode share drastically. Behavioural shifts can even be observed in response to the announcement of the measures and relaxation, a week before they came in to place. Long-term implications for policy are discussed, in particular the increased preference for cycling as a result of the pandemic. |

Abstract | In March 2020, in an effort to contain COVID-19, the Government of Canada announced measures that have restricted the entry of visitors and other temporary residents, as well as some Canadian citizens and permanent residents, into Canada. Some of these measures have also affected the movement of goods, understood as any merchandise, product, article or material. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), which facilitates the movement of goods and people in and out of the country, is responsible for implementing these measures. |
