Abstract

Abstract: The aim of the project is to use specific simulations to investigate the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 and the influence of containment measures. If successful, the project can provide significant help in dealing with the pandemic, both in medical, social and, if necessary, economic terms. The project builds on a BMBF-funded project (01KI1913) for pathogen-specific modeling of other (potential) epidemics. Accordingly, the preparatory work and cooperation established there can be used.; Research Type: discovery; Study population: not applicable
