High COVID-19 transmission potential associated with re-opening universities can be mitigated with layered interventions

High COVID-19 transmission potential associated with re-opening universities can be mitigated with layered interventions

Controlling COVID-19 transmission in universities poses challenges due to the complex social networks and potential for asymptomatic spread. We developed a stochastic transmission model based on realistic mixing patterns and evaluated alternative mitigation strategies. We predict, for plausible model parameters, that if asymptomatic cases are half as infectious as symptomatic …
