Modelling the COVID-19 epidemics


Preamble

These reports are primarily for educational purposes. They cannot replace any national or international guidelines or expertise. In particular, the assumptions made are often deliberately simplified for the sake of clarity.

This work was performed by modellers from the ETE team in the MIVEGEC department (CNRS, IRD, University of Montpellier).

To date, this work has not received any dedicated funding and is designed to be independent from any private or public entity.
