Public Health Implications of a delay differential equation model for COVID 19

This paper describes the strategies derived from a novel delay differential equation model[1], signifying a practical extension of our recent work COVID -19 is an extremely ferocious and an unpredictable pandemic which poses unique challenges for public health authorities, on account of which “case races” among various countries and states do not serve any purpose and present delusive appearances while ignoring significant determinants We aim to propose comprehensive planning guidelines as a direct implication of our model Our first consideration is reopening, followed by effective contact tracing and ensuring public compliance We then discuss the implications of the mathematical results on people's behavior and eventually provide conclusive points aimed at strengthening the arsenal of resources that are helpful in framing public health policies The knowledge about pandemic and its association with public health interventions is documented in the various literature-based sources In this study, we explore those resources to explain the findings inferred from delay differential equation model of covid-19 © 2020, Copyright held by the author(s)
