Increase in<i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>infections after ending COVID-19 lockdown measures in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
A substantial relative increase in Ng risk among MSW, MSMW and women, but not MSM or TGP, was observed post-COVID-19. Changes in sexual behaviour were associated with these changes. Continuous surveillance of Ng in heterosexual individuals is needed to monitor changes, alongside implementing prevention strategies for sexually transmitted infections.
