Cliff C. Kerr,Robyn M. Stuart,Robyn M. Stuart,Dina Mistry,Romesh G. Abeysuriya,Gregory R. Hart,Katherine Rosenfeld,Prashanth Selvaraj,Rafael C. Núñez,Brittany Hagedorn,Lauren George,Amanda S Izzo,Anna Palmer,Dominic Delport,Carrie Bennette,Bradley G. Wagner,Stewart T. Chang,Jamie A. Cohen,Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths,Michał Jastrzębski,Assaf P. Oron,Edward Allen Wenger,Michael Famulare,Daniel J. Klein +23 more
TL;DR: The methodology of Covasim (COVID-19 Agent-based Simulator), an open-source model developed to help address the urgent need for models that can project epidemic trends, explore intervention scenarios, and estimate resource needs, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the optimal strategy for reopening schools, the impact of test and trace interventions, and the risk of occurrence of a second COVID-19 epidemic wave in the UK: a modelling study.
Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths,Jasmina Panovska-Griffiths,Cliff C. Kerr,Robyn M. Stuart,Robyn M. Stuart,Dina Mistry,Daniel J. Klein,Russell M Viner,Chris Bonell +8 more
TL;DR: To prevent a second COVID-19 wave, relaxation of physical distancing, including reopening of schools, in the UK must be accompanied by large-scale, population-wide testing of symptomatic individuals and effective tracing of their contacts, followed by isolation of diagnosed individuals.

TL;DR: A data-driven global stochastic epidemic model is used to analyze the spread of the Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Americas and it can be potentially used as a template for the analysis of future mosquito-borne epidemics.

TL;DR: Covasim as discussed by the authors is an agent-based simulation model developed to examine epidemic dynamics and inform policy decisions in more than a dozen countries in Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a data-driven approach to generate effective population-level contact matrices by using highly detailed macro (census) and micro (survey) data on key socio-demographic features.
