He will also project what services hospitals will require and assess the effects of interventions, such as quarantine, self-reporting, isolation and school closures. In addition, he will evaluate the effectiveness of a vaccine and best distribution scenarios based on population age and risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor&nbsp;<strong>Jianhong Wu<\/strong>&nbsp;is leading a national COVID-19 math modelling team. The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences has received $666,667, along with local and international partners, to mobilize this national network of infectious disease modellers to develop mathematical technologies to assess transmission risk of COVID-19 and project outbreak trajectories. Co-applicants include Professors Ali Asgary and Adriano Solis in the Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies, and Professors Jane Heffernan and Huaiping Zhu in the Faculty of Science. These researchers are evaluating public health interventions for its prevention and control, and to inform public health policy makers. Their goal is to conduct multi-scale modelling to assist in the development of effective intervention and mitigation strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the full\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yorku.ca\/2020\/03\/23\/new-covid-19-rapid-research-funding-for-york-professors\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media release<\/a>\u00a0from York University on March 23, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infectious disease modellers Seyed Moghadas and Jianhong Wu in the Department of Mathematics &#038;
