A framework for counterfactual analysis, strategy evaluation, and control of epidemics using reproduction number estimates

A) The infection profile v of COVID-19 w/o testing-for-isolation strategies. The infection profile v is captured by Eq (5). We leverage the infection profile to capture the spreading process across UIUC and Purdue. B) The infection profile v(αP) of COVID-19 w/ testing-for-isolation strategies. The infection profile v(αP) reflects the impact of the overall isolation rate αP at Purdue, which reduces the average daily number of infected cases generated by a single infected individual under Purdue’s testing-for-isolation strategy.
