Article Synopsis
- - COVID-19 has had severe health and economic impacts across different regions, influenced by local behaviors, weather, virus variants, and public health measures like vaccination efforts.
- - Researchers developed a new mathematical model used in Norway to track and manage the pandemic, leveraging real-time data from mobile phones and hospital records to calculate infection rates and identify missed cases.
- - The model provides accurate three-week predictions and helps inform local policies by highlighting how lockdowns affect virus spread differently in densely populated areas compared to national averages.
