Analyzing How Changes in the Health Status of Healthcare Workers Affects Epidemic Outcomes

2020-09-23

Abstract excerpt

During a disease outbreak, healthcare workers (HCWs) are essential to treat infected individuals. However, these HCWs are themselves susceptible to contracting the disease. As more HCWs get infected, fewer are available to provide care for others, and the overall quality of care available to infected individuals declines. This depletion of HCWs may contribute to the epidemic’s severity. To examine this issue, we e...
