What is Prudent public health intervention strategies to control the coronavirus disease 2019 transmission in India: A mathematical model-based approach about?

Background & objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has raised urgent questions aboutcontainment and mitigation, particularly in countries where the virus has not yet established human-to-human transmission. The objectives of this study were to find out if it was possible to prevent, or delay,the local outbreaks of COVID-19 through restrictions on travel from abroad and if the virus has alreadyestablished in-country transmission, to what extent would its impact be mitigated through quarantine ofsymptomatic patients? Methods: These questions were addressed in the context of India, using simple mathematical modelsof infectious disease transmission. While there remained important uncertainties in the natural historyof COVID-19, using hypothetical epidemic curves, some key findings were illustrated that appearedinsensitive to model assumptions, as well as highlighting critical data gaps. Results: It was assumed that symptomatic quarantine would identify and quarantine 50 per cent ofsymptomatic individuals within three days of developing symptoms. In an optimistic scenario of thebasic reproduction number (R0) being 1.5, and asymptomatic infections lacking any infectiousness, su
