Key questions for modelling COVID-19 exit strategies 2020-08-12 .txt text/plain 11567 587 40 This leads to a roadmap for future research (figure 1) made up of three key steps: (i) improve estimation of epidemiological parameters using outbreak data from different countries; (ii) understand heterogeneities within and between populations that affect virus transmission and interventions; and (iii) focus on data needs, particularly data collection and methods for planning exit strategies in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs) where data are often lacking. Three key steps are required: (i) improve estimates of epidemiological parameters (such as the reproduction number and herd immunity fraction) using data from different countries ( §2a-d); (ii) understand heterogeneities within and between populations that affect virus transmission and interventions ( §3a-d); and (iii) focus on data requirements for predicting the effects of individual interventions, particularly-but not exclusively-in data-limited settings such as LMICs ( §4a-c). ./cache/cord-303651-fkdep6cp.txt ./txt/cord-303651-fkdep6cp.txt
