Optimizing infectious disease mitigation under dynamic conditions
Laura Müller, Fabio Sartori, Jonas Dehning +2
Mitigation measures are essential for controlling the spread of infectious diseases during pandemics and epidemics, but they impose considerable societal, individual, and economic…
Impact of the Euro 2020 championship on the spread of COVID-19
Jonas Dehning, Sebastian B. Mohr, Sebastian Contreras +5
Large-scale events like the UEFA Euro~2020 football (soccer) championship offer a unique opportunity to quantify the impact of gatherings on the spread of COVID-19, as the number a…
Interplay between risk perception, behaviour, and COVID-19 spread
Philipp Dönges, Joel Wagner, Sebastian Contreras +9
Pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been crucial for controlling COVID-19. They are complemented by voluntary health-protective behaviour, building a co…
Mutational signatures and transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 Gamma and Lambda variants
Karen Y. Oróstica, Sebastian Contreras, Sebastian B. Mohr +12
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern endangers the long-term control of COVID-19, especially in countries with limited genomic surveillance. In this work, we explored ge…
Relaxing restrictions at the pace of vaccination increases freedom and guards against further COVID-19 waves
Simon Bauer, Sebastian Contreras, Jonas Dehning +5
Mass vaccination offers a promising exit strategy for the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as vaccination progresses, demands to lift restrictions increase, despite most of the populati…
Low case numbers enable long-term stable pandemic control without lockdowns
Sebastian Contreras, Jonas Dehning, Sebastian B. Mohr +3
The traditional long-term solutions for epidemic control involve eradication or population immunity. Here, we analytically derive the existence of a third viable solution: a stable…
The foreshadow of a second wave: An analysis of current COVID-19 fatalities in Germany
Matthias Linden, Jonas Dehning, Sebastian B. Mohr +5
A second wave of SARS-CoV-2 is unfolding in dozens of countries. However, this second wave manifests itself strongly in new reported cases, but less in death counts compared to the…
The challenges of containing SARS-CoV-2 via test-trace-and-isolate
Sebastian Contreras, Jonas Dehning, Matthias Loidolt +7
Without a cure, vaccine, or proven long-term immunity against SARS-CoV-2, test-trace-and-isolate (TTI) strategies present a promising tool to contain its spread. For any TTI strate…
Inferring change points in the COVID-19 spreading reveals the effectiveness of interventions
Jonas Dehning, Johannes Zierenberg, F. Paul Spitzner +4
As COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the globe, short-term modeling forecasts provide time-critical information for decisions on containment and mitigation strategies. A main ch…
