Cost Effective Reproduction Number Based Strategies for Reducing Deaths from COVID-19

2021-04-28

Abstract excerpt

In epidemiology, the effective reproduction number is used to characterize the growth rate of an epidemic outbreak. In this paper, we investigate properties of the reproduction number for a modified SEIR model of COVID-19 in the city of Houston, TX USA, in which the population is divided into low-risk and high-risk subpopulations. The response of reproduction number to two types of control measures (testing and...
