From: Optimal resource allocation with spatiotemporal transmission discovery for effective disease control
The simulation of the trend of Omicron outbreak (in terms of the daily case number) in Hong Kong, China from December 30, 2021 to July 2022. We assume that the 300,000 testing capacity per day will be available from February 14, 2022. (A)Â Four scenarios with various resource allocation strategies: the baseline (yellow curve), population-based strategy (orange curve), case-based strategy (red curve), and our transmission-guided strategy (blue curve). (B)Â The detailed comparison between the case-based strategy (red curve) and the proposed transmission-guided strategy (blue curve). (C)Â The details of the daily infection trend with our transmission-guided resource allocation. The thicker solid curve denotes the number of daily new infections; the thinner solid curve denotes the total number of infected individuals in each day, including both the newly infected ones and the previously infected but not recovered individuals; the dash line denotes the number of detected cases; and the dotted line denotes the number of non-detected cases
