Curated by the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical
Sciences from their COVID-19 Math Modelling Seminars, this first in
a series of volumes on the mathematics of public health allows
readers to access the dominant ideas and techniques being used in
this area, while indicating problems for further research. This
work brings together experts in mathematical modelling from across
Canada and the world, presenting the latest modelling methods as
they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. A primary aim of this book is
to make the content accessible so that researchers share the core
methods that may be applied elsewhere. The mathematical theories
and technologies in this book can be used to support decision
makers on critical issues such as projecting outbreak trajectories,
evaluating public health interventions for infection prevention and
control, developing optimal strategies to return to a new normal,
and designing vaccine candidates and informing mass immunization
program. Topical coverage includes: basic
susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered (SEIR) modelling framework
modified and applied to COVID-19 disease transmission dynamics;
nearcasting and forecasting for needs of critical medical resources
including personal protective equipment (PPE); predicting COVID-19
mortality; evaluating effectiveness of convalescent plasma
treatment and the logistic implementation challenges; estimating
impact of delays in contact tracing; quantifying heterogeneity in
contact mixing and its evaluation with social distancing; modelling
point of care diagnostics of COVID-19; and understanding
non-reporting and underestimation. Further, readers will have the
opportunity to learn about current modelling methodologies and
technologies for emerging infectious disease outbreaks, pandemic
mitigation rapid response, and the mathematics behind them. The
volume will help the general audience and experts to better
understand the important role that mathematics has been playing
during this on-going crisis in supporting critical decision-making
by governments and public health agencies.
