Mathematical techniques that attempt to model and understand the likely spread of the disease have been instrumental. The SEIR model is a compartment model that uses a mathematical and statistical approach to model the spread of an infectious disease within a population. It divides the population into four compartments: Susceptible: those who are susceptible to becoming infected. Exposed: those who have been exposed to an ... Read More
