SARS-CoV-2 dynamics in New York City during March 2020-August 2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been widespread since 2020 and will likely continue to cause substantial recurring epidemics. However, understanding the underlying infection burden and dynamics, particularly since late 2021 when the Omicron variant emerged, is challenging. Here, we leverage extensive surveillance data available in New York City (NYC) and a comprehensive model-inference system to reconstruct SARS-CoV-2 dynamics therein through August 2023.

Methods

We fit a metapopulation network SEIRSV (Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-(re)Susceptible-Vaccination) model to age- and neighborhood-specific data of COVID-19 cases, emergency department visits, and deaths in NYC from the pandemic onset in March 2020 to August 2023. We f
