Dynamical regulations on mobility and vaccinations for controlling COVID-19 spread.

ABSTRACT: Using a system of time-dynamical equations, we investigate how daily mobility indices, such as the homestay percentage above the pre-COVID normal ([Formula: see text]; or H-forcing), and the vaccinated percentage ([Formula: see text]; or V-forcing) impact the net reproductive rate (R0) of COVID-19 in ten island nations as a prototype, and then, extending it to 124 countries worldwide. Our H- and V-forcing model of R0 can explain the new trends in 106 countries. The disease transmission can be controlled by forcing down [Formula: see text] with an enforcement of continuous [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] of countries with [Formula: see text] vaccinated plus recovered, [Formula: see text]. The required critical [Formula: see text] decreases with increasing [Formula: see text], dro
