ICMR Publishes Mathematical Model For Tackling Coronavirus

The Indian Council of Medical Research has published a paper on the public health interventions strategies to control the COVID-19 transmission in India using a mathematical model. 

This study mentions port of entry based screening for modestly delaying the introduction of the virus in the community. However, this alone is not sufficient and quarantining of symptomatic as well as asymptomatic individuals. This model has its limitations but suggests such interventions along with proactively engaging with the the health and medical officials, community and the media to delay and control the spread of the disease.
