Simulating the spread of COVID-19 via a spatially-resolved susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered-deceased (SEIRD) model with heterogeneous diffusion

Alex Viguerie et al.

Summary: The study introduces an SEIRD mathematical model to describe the spatiotemporal spread of COVID-19, validated through comparison with data from the Lombardy region in Italy. The simulations show qualitative agreement with the epidemiological data in the region, highlighting factors to consider in reopening strategies and local dynamics.

Delayed epidemic peak caused by infection and recovery rate fluctuations

Maxence Arutkin et al.

Summary: Fluctuations in infection and recovery rates play a critical role in determining the peak timing of epidemics. By using a model with daily parameter fluctuations, researchers found that the epidemic peak time distribution fits well with observed data, providing a robust estimation of epidemic evolution. Deterministic models tend to anticipate the peak earlier compared to stochastic models, indicating the importance of incorporating dynamic fluctuations in epidemiological models.

Spatiotemporal heterogeneity and its determinants of COVID-19 transmission in typical labor export provinces of China

Li Wang et al.

Summary: COVID-19 exhibited significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the labor export regions of China. The high-risk regions were mainly located in areas adjacent to the epicenter and in major cities serving as traffic hubs. Population access to the epicenter, as well as local economic and medical conditions, played a crucial role in the interactive effects of disease transmission.

Natural and human environment interactively drive spread pattern of COVID-19: A city-level modeling study in China

Xiaoxu Wu et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of environmental factors on the spread pattern of COVID-19 in China, highlighting the significance of both natural environment and human activities. The results demonstrate spatial heterogeneity in the effects of various factors on the disease transmission, especially in terms of population flow, climate factors, and urban transportation before and after the lockdown in Wuhan.

Factors associated with the spatial heterogeneity of the first wave of COVID-19 in France: a nationwide geo-epidemiological study

Jean Gaudart et al.

Summary: From March 19 to May 11, 2020, hospitals in metropolitan France reported a total of 100,988 COVID-19 cases, with clear spatial heterogeneity of in-hospital COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates across different regions. After multivariate adjustment, the delay between the first COVID-19-associated death and the onset of the national lockdown was positively associated with in-hospital incidence, mortality, and case fatality rates.

Intracounty modeling of COVID-19 infection with human mobility: Assessing spatial heterogeneity with business traffic, age, and race

Xiao Hou et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic poses global threats with varied impacts on different communities due to population heterogeneity in terms of factors such as race and age. Studies have shown significant differences in transmission patterns based on geographic and demographic factors, highlighting the importance of considering these heterogeneities in policy making for managing and reopening during the pandemic.
