Warning about a “colossal” COVID-19 outbreak, a new study by the Chinese mathematicians has advised against dropping the country’s zero-tolerance policies by lifting travel curbs.
China could not afford to lift travel restrictions without more efficient vaccinations or specific treatments, said Peking University mathematicians, in the report published in China CDC Weekly by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
Making use of data provided by the United States, Britain, Spain, France and Israel, the researchers assessed the possible outcomes if China adopted the same pandemic control strategies.
