- Social distancing and facemask are non-pharmacological interventions proven to reduce
COVID-19 transmission and for the containment of the outbreak. - For these interventions to be effective high level of compliance or coverage is critical.
- Using an advanced compartmental SEIR mathematical model, this brief present’s
scenario based estimation and forecasting of the effectiveness of interventions in
reducing admission to ICU and death due to COIVD-19. - The SEIR model assume community transmission and hence Addis Ababa has taken as a
