COVID-19 Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention Portfolio Effectiveness and Risk Communication Predominance

This article used probabilistic modeling to understand the effectiveness of interventions such as resource allocation, risk communication, social distancing, and travel restriction on the spread of COVID-19. The authors found that risk communication was the most effective intervention and returning to normal was the least effective intervention. Overall, non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g., risk communication, social distancing, and travel restriction) were key to suppressing the pandemic.
