The impact of long-term non-pharmaceutical interventions on COVID-19 epidemic dynamics and control: the value and limitations of early models
Mathematical models of epidemics are important tools for predicting epidemic dynamics
and evaluating interventions. Yet, because early models are built on limited information, it is …
