A model for keeping the pandemic in check in Italy

In April, a team led by Professor Andrea Rinaldo, the head of EPFL's Laboratory of Ecohydrology (ECHO), published a paper that presented a model for the spread of COVID-19 in Italy. Since then, the model has been used to investigate different potential outcomes of the pandemic's progression depending on the measures put in place. The researchers, from the Politecnico di Milano, Ca' Foscari University of Venice, the University of Padua and EPFL, published these latest results today in Nature Communications.
