EpiPose

This stream of work is focused on applying state-of-the-art mathematical models and statistical datasets to understand the patterns underlying COVID-19. Providing reliable estimates of key factors associated with COVID-19 help us better understand the dynamics of the virus and respond more effectively.

Under this stream of work, we are using mathematical models to investigate the impact of intervention measures - such as travel bans or school closures - introduced to control the spread and severity of the pandemic.

This work package is interested in how the pandemic is influencing people’s day-to-day lives. We are monitoring awareness of and attitudes to COVID-19 over time, assessing the effectiveness of the information provided by public health and other authorities and gathering information on how the pandemic is changing people’s behaviour. For example in relation to their contact with others. These insights will be vital in informing regional, national and international responses to the pandemic.

This programme of work examines the impact of COVID-19 on the economy. We look at the cost-effectiveness of the measures introduced to control the virus and estimate the burden on healthcare facilities in real-time.

‘CoMix’ is a groundbreaking study that follows households across Europe in real-time over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey asks people about their awareness, attitudes and behaviours in response to COVID-19 and measures how these change over time.

EpiPose is the acronym for: Epidemic intelligence to minimize 2019-nCoV’s public health, economic and social impact in Europe.
