A model simulation on the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant containment in Beijing, China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Omicron variant of SARS-COV-2 is replacing previously circulating variants around the world in 2022. Sporadic outbreaks of the Omicron variant into China have posed a concern how to properly response to battle against evolving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Methods

Based on the epidemic data from website announced by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention for the recent outbreak in Beijing from April 22nd to June 8th in 2022, we developed a modified SEPIR model to mathematically simulate the customized dynamic COVID-zero strategy and project transmissions of the Omicron epidemic. To demonstrate the effectiveness of dynamic-changing policies deployment during this outbreak control, we modified the transmission rate into four parts according to p
