dc.description.abstract | The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly became a
public health emergency of international concern requiring urgent
attention. It emerged late in 2019 in China as a respiratory pathogen,
with the first epicentres observed in Iran, Spain and northern Italy.
At the time of writing there were about 4 525 497 cases and 307 395
deaths worldwide, of which 1 409 452 cases and 85 860 deaths were
in the USA, which is the most affected country in absolute terms.[1]
The COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by extreme heterogeneity
in both geography and population across the world. Consequently,
leveraging local data aligned to the unique South African (SA) context
is critical. Moreover, comprehensive mathematical models should
integrate the full complexity of transmission dynamics observed with
COVID-19 in the context of rapidly changing individual, social and
structural determinants in SA | en_US |
