Assessing the Need for Continuity of Preventive Environmental Health Recommendations to Avoid Contamination With COVID-۱۹: A Systematic Review Study

The coronavirus may persist for an extended period, underscoring the importance of maintaining preventive   environmental   health   recommendations   and   sustainable   environmental   health management to curb viral infections and prevent the resurgence of COVID-۱۹. This systematic review  of  existing  literature  aimed  to  assess  the  role  of  environmental  health  in  COVID-۱۹ prevention.   The   systematic   review   involved   searching   scientific   articles   across   databases including PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using keywords such as  Environmental  Health,  SARS-CoV-۲,  COVID-۱۹,  Coronavirus,  and  Preventive.  Articles  were included based on their provision of full-text research focusing on the role of environmental health in COVID-۱۹ prevention. Quality assessment and validation using the Strengthening the Reporting of  Observational  Studies  in  Epidemiology  (STROBE)  checklist  were  conducted  independently by two authors. Ultimately, ۲۰ articles comprising descriptive observational studies, systematic reviews, and analytical articles were selected from the total number of articles identified. Public participation  in  health  protocols,  environmental  factors  control,  preventive  recommendations, promotion of protective behaviors, immunization, and implementation of management measures emerged  as  critical  strategies  for  effective  risk  communication  and  notification  of  preventive recommendations  in  addressing  COVID-۱۹.  Fostering  mutual  understanding  and  sustaining public  engagement  are  vital  components  in  the  ongoing  battle  against  COVID-۱۹.  Given  the significance of preventive measures and adherence to health protocols, ensuring the continuity of  essential  health  services,  implementing  a  combination  of  strategies  to  contain  viral  spread within society, and providing systematic information to stakeholders are underscored as crucial elements.
