Abstract:

Objective To predict and analyze the epidemic situation of COVID-19 for reference to improve the prevention and control measures for this pandemic. Methods Daily data of COVID-19 reported in Longgang District of Shenzhen City in December 2022 were collected. A multi-group transmission dynamics model with comprehensive consideration of the vaccination and age composition was used to establish a simulation model to estimate the infection rate, peak time of infection and following trend of the pandemic in Longgang District. Results The calculation results and curve fitting results of multiple transmission dynamic models showed that the model fitted the actual data well (R2=0.916, P<0.001). The prediction results revealed that the effective regeneration number (Reff) was 7.13 for this pandemic, and the cumulative infection rate was 95.46% for the population. The daily peak infection was 245 700 cases, and 74.95% of the population exhibited symptoms after infection. The daily peak incidence was 158 200 cases. The infection rate of the population in all 11 communities in Longgang District exceeded 90%, and the highest Reff (10.20) was seen in Nanwan community, followed by Pinghu community (9.60). Conclusion The multiple group transmission dynamics model can better fit and predict the infection status and peak time of COVID-19 in Longgang District, which can provide a reference for the decision-making in prevention and control of COVID-19 pandemic.
