In this modelling study led by @LeKNNguyen1, we explore the impact of bank/agency staff working across care homes on the spread of Covid-19 in these care homes: implications of characteristics of these heterogenous care homes and what interventions work. @PLOSCompBiol
An interesting paper published in PLOS Computational Biology by @StrathManSci colleagues @LeKNNguyen1, @IMegiddo and Susan Howick. Investigates the spread of Covid-19 in and between care homes when staff are being shared @StrathclydeOA journals.plos.org/ploscompbi…
