Modelling the impact of rapid tests, tracing and distancing in lower-income countries suggest that optimal policies vary with rural-urban settings

2021-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain of high potential for hotspots for COVID-19 deaths and emerging variants given the inequality of vaccine distribution and their vulnerable healthcare systems. We aim to evaluate containment strategies that are sustainable and effective for LMICs. We constructed synthetic populations with varying contact and household structures to capture LMIC demographic characteris...
