Feedback-guided design of NPIs for stable and controlled COVID-19 deconfinement

COVID-19 Research Area(s): Epidemiology & Public Health, Healthcare Delivery & Policy

In light of the Covid-19 outbreak we wrote a short brief on the potential role of feedback and control in the design of policies such as social distancing. Specifically considering the goals of increasing population recovery rate, respecting healthcare capacity, while being robust to the inevitable uncertainty in epidemiological model parameters. We hope for and encourage collaboration between the epidemiology and control communities in approaching this very critical and urgent global challenge.
