Explore the feasibility of controlling 2019-nCoV outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts

This application allows interactive exploration of individual contact tracing and isolation scenarios for the 2019-nCoV outbreak using the branching process model developed in “Feasibility of controlling 2019-nCoV outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts” by Hellewell et al. For more details on the model used or the scenarios considered please see the paper.

Running the app

Install the application and required dependencies with the following:

remotes::install_github("epiforecasts/exploreringbp", dependencies = TRUE)
