Response strategies for COVID-19 epidemics in African settings: a mathematical modelling study

2020-05-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The health impact of COVID-19 may differ in African settings as compared to countries in Europe or China due to demographic, epidemiological, environmental and socio-economic factors. We evaluated strategies to reduce SARS-CoV-2 burden in African countries, so as to support decisions that balance minimising mortality, protecting health services and safeguarding livelihoods. <h4>Methods</h4> We...
