Effects of medical resource capacities and intensities of public mitigation measures on outcomes of COVID-19 outbreaks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic is complex and is developing in different ways according to the country involved.

Methods

To identify the key parameters or processes that have the greatest effects on the pandemic and reveal the different progressions of epidemics in different countries, we quantified enhanced control measures and the dynamics of the production and provision of medical resources. We then nested these within a COVID-19 epidemic transmission model, which is parameterized by multi-source data. We obtained rate functions related to the intensity of mitigation measures, the effective reproduction numbers and the timings and durations of runs on medical resources, given differing control measures implemented in various countries.

Results

Increased detection
