SARS-CoV-2 and Coronacrisis

This book is useful for administrators of different levels involved in counteracting COVID-19, surveillance professionals, clinicians, researchers specializing in epidemiology, microbiology, and infectious diseases, and politicians / legislators engaged in public health sector.

We use an innovative approach of combining both epidemiological and sociological analyses, as the very problem is mainly an issue of correct governance. A team of authors from Europe, Russia and China summarizes their experience and knowledge useful for containing SARS-CoV-2 and overcoming social and managerial consequences of the pandemic.

The editors are sure that sharing our different experience would help to elaborate necessary strategies, protocols, and principles that may be effectively applied in the future to avoid dramatic consequences of not only COVID-19 but also any possible epidemiological hazards for people and medicine.

Brings together a team of European researchers that combine their expertise in epidemiology, surveillance, virology, microbiology, and social sciences to elaborate the most appropriate strategies of containing COVID-19 in the situation of lack of resources and knowledge about the new pathogen Analyzes medical and administrative flaws in stopping the spread of COVID-19 made thus far in Europe and suggests perspective ways of improvement Utilizes mathematical and computational models to assess the current data on SARS-CoV-2 spread and predict the further course of COVID-19-related events in 2021
