A privacy-preserving tests optimization algorithm for epidemics containment

“…A large effort has been put in the modeling of the disease with predictive models depending on the different areas of diffusion of the virus, e.g., Girardi et al (2020); Gaeta (2020) for Italy, Toubiana and Bouaud (2020) for France, and for China, assuming an evolution over time of the virus behaviour Li et al (2020), or analysing the effect of different contagion containment countermeasures Hsiang et al (2020); Liu et al (2020a) or monitoring strategies Peak et al (2020). A broader study tried to identify the factors influencing the virus spread over the different countries Staszkiewicz et al (2020), concluding that the spread and mortality is determined by the number of connections among the continent, e.g., the airline traffic, but also by some local characteristic of the country, e.g., the availability of medical personnel and the average air pollution.…”
