Topic:

  • Given that limited healthcare resources have become a serious bottleneck to the Wuhan epidemic response, an SEIR modeling approach was combined with a healthcare-resource-adjusted vulnerability index to inform public health planning for constrained healthcare resources in this epidemic response.
  • In addition to identifying vulnerabilities across 100 cities in China, the framework provided integrates human movements and healthcare resources data in a way that could also be more generally useful.
