A modified SEIR model to predict the COVID-19 outbreak in Spain and Italy: Simulating control scenarios and multi-scale epidemics

Abstract: After the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic out of China, evolution in the pandemic worldwide shows dramatic differences among countries. In Europe, the situation of Italy first and later Spain has generated great concen, and despite other countries show better prospects, large uncertainties yet remain on the future evolution and the e, or attack strategies. Here we applied a modified SEIR compartmental model accounting for the spread of infection during the latent period, in which we al… Show more

“…). The initial ranges for the infection periods D in /ref is set as [2,5], since detection and treatment of infected patients may be reduce their infectious period, so we extend the range of the average duration of infection D to 1-5 days, where The average duration of infection for tested infected patients D T t is 1-3 days and the average duration of infection for untested infected patients D NT t equal to 3-5 days. Cities in Hubei published confirm case including clinical confirm cases from 2.13, which counted patients who met clinical criteria through chest imaging and may not have had epidemiological links or a positive PCR test Confirmed cases in Wuhan was more than 12 times higher than that in the previous day, so the reported rate in Wuhan may be different from other cities and we create a multiplication factor μ Wuhan for Wuhan and testing rate in Wuhan equal to μ Wuhan ×α.…”

“…Drawing lessons from China’s COVID-19 experiences can be essential for policy-makers to take effective measures to stop the epidemic from continuing indefinitely. Previous research highlight the effectiveness of social distancing interventions and discuss about the the need for lockdowns [ 1 , 2 ]. Our study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the contribution of three types of policies in the successful containment of COVID-19: city lockdown that aims at reducing within-city contact, cross-city travel restrictions, and an effective way of testing and isolating infected persons.…”

“…We adopt a network-based SEIR model [8] to describe the evolution and behavior of COVID-19 and contagion processes in a network. The SEIR model has been widely used in modeling dynamical behavior of pandemic and epidemic spreading [19,20,21]. Here, the network-based SEIR model differs from other models that describe the epidemic spreading dynamics by a set of differential equations [9] and generate the numbers of individuals in various states as functions of time.…”

“…The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) models developed by Kermack and McKendrick [14] were the first mathematical models developed to study the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. The SIR and SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, and Removed) models have been improved and used for analyzing and characterizing the COVID-19 epidemic [15][16][17], as well, in Spain [18][19][20]. In addition to the crucial role played by the above described epidemic models, other models are also being adapted to examine different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic [21,22].…”
