Nature has published an article on COVID-19 transmission in universities

[Oliver Schulte <oschulte@cs.sfu.ca>]

Hi all,

some of you may find the models interesting. From the results section:

"Our results suggest that, under normal circumstances, COVID-19 would spread readily in a university setting. Our data-driven approach reveals natural heterogeneities in student mixing patterns that can be exploited to enhance disease control. We find that controlling transmission is possible with combinations of social distancing, online teaching, self-isolation and potentially mass testing of students without symptoms."

Regards,

Oliver
