Incorporating such an environment-tohuman route into mathematical modeling may better characterize the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 and potentially gain deeper understanding of its epidemic patterns. For example, many countries (China in particular) implemented strong disease control measures, including large-scale quarantine, intensive tracking of movement and contact, strict isolation of infected individuals, expanded medical facilities, and social distancing, which can effectively (and, in some places, rapidly) reduce the transmissibility of the virus. Mathematical epidemic models are well positioned to incorporate the economic impact of COVID-19, to quantify the interaction of epidemiological and economic factors, and to suggest an optimal balance between the pandemic control and economic development. ./cache/cord-304379-4mfyxp6h.txt ./txt/cord-304379-4mfyxp6h.txt
