Epidemics with containment measures
Epidemics with containment measures
We propose a tractable epidemic model that includes containment measures. In the absence of containment measures, the epidemics spread exponentially fast whenever the infectivity rate is positive $\ensuremath{\lambda}>0$. The containment measures are modeled by considering a time-dependent modulation of the bare infectivity $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ leading to effective infectivity that decays in …
