Review[Quarantine Alone or in Combination with Other Public Health Measures to Control COVID-19: A Rapid Review (Review)].
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a new, rapidly emerging zoonotic infectious disease, that was reported to the World Health Organization for the first time on 31 December 2019. Currently, no effective pharmacological interventions or vaccines are available to treat or prevent COVID-19, therefore nonpharmacological public health measures are more in focus. ⋯ Our confidence in the evidence is very limited. This is mainly because the COVID-19 studies based their models on the limited data that have been available in the early weeks of the pandemic and made different assumptions about the virus. The studies of SARS and MERS are not completely generalizable to COVID-19. Despite only having limited evidence, all the studies found quarantine to be important for controlling the spread of severe coronavirus diseases. Looking to the coming months, in order to maintain the best possible balance of measures, decision makers must continue to constantly monitor the outbreak situation and the impact of the measures they implement.

Review[Physical Activity Recommendations for Adults with a Chronic Disease: Methods, Database and Rationale].
This paper describes the development of generic physical activity recommendations for adults (18-65 years) with a chronic disease. The physical activity recommendations were developed based on existing recommendations using a 3-phased process. Phase 1: Systematic literature searches for current physical activity recommendations for 7 chronic diseases. ⋯ But, people with chronic diseases who have enhanced physical activity levels may also be at increased risk. Nevertheless, adapted, individualized physical activity is safe and with little risk. The generic physical activity recommendations for adults with chronic conditions provide an evidence-based and quality-controlled basis for physical activity promotion of the target group.

Review[Recommendations for Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour for Children and Adolescents: Methods, Database and Rationale].
The benefits of physical activity and a reduction of sedentary behaviour in childhood and adolescence are well established. Based on a quality-assured literature review, the German recommendations were updated. ⋯ Preschool age children should have 180 min of physical activity daily, and from primary school age on, at least 90 min daily are recommended. Sedentary behaviour, especially time in front of screens, is to be reduced to a minimum.

Review Meta Analysis[A Systematic Review of Reviews of Interventions for the Promotion of Physical Activity: Methodology and First Results].
As part of the development of recommendations for physical activity promotion, a review of reviews was performed. This article presents both the utilised methodology and first results. A systematic review of reviews was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Sport Discus, PsycInfo and other electronic databases. ⋯ In contrast, only 14 reviews dealt with physical activity promotion among older people. This review of reviews allowed for an analysis of the effectiveness regarding different intervention types for physical activity promotion. Depending on the target group and type of intervention, differences in quality of available evidence could be identified.
