Project Details
Description
Human mobility constitutes the main risk for the importation and dissemination of SARS-COV-2 infection.
Therefore, the effect of measures adopted to reduce mobility aimed at reducing the probability of contacts, together with reliable epidemiological information, allow inferences to be made about the growth of the infection and its effect on the response capacity of the health system at the national and regional levels. Based on this information, it is possible to evaluate the risk of social isolation/distancing decisions at the regional level, design policies to reduce mobility, spatially segregated partial isolations that allow the mobility of sectors and regions depending on the risk, and focus efforts on spatial units where there are different types of threat. It also constitutes a tool for the informed application of serological tests to establish the magnitude of the exposed population in regions with different connectivities. The usefulness of this tool for health policies aimed at containing the SARS-COV2 epidemic depends largely on the reliability and availability of epidemiological data on the infection.
OBJECTIVE
To provide information for public policy decision making associated with the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. Given the scale of the available data, and a possible post-quarantine scenario, it is crucial to measure flows between populations to measure and control the spread of infection in areas with different health care response capacities. This document is an input to evaluate the effectiveness of isolation measures between Structured Populations
This document is an input to evaluate the effectiveness of isolation measures between Structured Populations and to establish the magnitude of population flows between and within spatial units.
This initiative pursues the following objectives:
- Identify how spatial units defined as municipalities, localities or other administrative units are connected through human mobility over time.
- Identify the risk of importing cases between spatial units given an epidemiological context and provide an x-ray of changes in human mobility at different times.
