How to measure the controllability of an infectious disease?

2023-10-10

Abstract excerpt

Quantifying how difficult it is to control an emerging infectious disease is crucial to public health decision-making, providing valuable evidence on if targeted interventions e.g., quarantine and isolation, can contain spread or when population-wide controls e.g., lockdowns, are warranted. The disease reproduction number, R , or growth rate, r , are universally assumed to measure controllability because R =1 a...
