TL;DR: An influenza epidemic simulation model was adapted to estimate the likelihood of human-to-human transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a simulated Singaporean population and the combined intervention was the most effective, reducing the estimated median number of infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Institutional, not home-based, isolation could contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The testing and isolation of test-positives should be implemented provided good testing practices are in place and if testing is not feasible, quarantining for a minimum of 14 days is recommended with strict adherence measures in place.
Journal ArticleDOI
