Disease Modelling Unit has developed a new individual-based mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 dynamics, OpenCOVID , to assess the impact of a range of prevention measures, vaccines, and medical interventions [...] the response and minimise cases, hospitalisations, and deaths in Switzerland and abroad. Our model OpenCOVID has been applied to support Swiss decision-making on vaccine rollouts and measures, as well as
