List of COVID-19 simulation models
COVID-19 simulation models are
mathematical infectious disease models for the spread of COVID-19.[1] The list should not be confused with COVID-19 apps used mainly for digital contact tracing
.
Note that some of the applications listed are website-only models or simulators, and some of those rely on (or use) real-time data from other sources.
Models with the most scientific backing
The sub-list contains simulators that are based on theoretical models. Due to the high number of pre-print research created and driving by the COVID-19 pandemic,
