Abstract

The Coscreen project, coordinated by Alain Barrat (UMR 7332 - Center de Physique Théorique (CPT) - CNRS - Marseille), aims to design a systematic way to couple detailed and realistic digital simulations of the spread of Covid-19 in a given context (schools, offices, universities), with epidemiological data or results of larger-scale modeling at the population level. It will propose a set of strategies based on regular screening of the population and on temporary reactive closures, and will assess the impact of each strategy on the spread according to various parameters, including adherence to testing strategies, test sensitivity, and the time between tests and their results.
