H. Chan School of Public Health, Professor of Department of Statistics at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University Abstract: COVID-19 is an emerging respiratory infectious disease that has become a pandemic. It was first detected in early December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Until April 30, COVID-19 has quickly spread to over 150 countries worldwide and infected more than 3.3 million individuals and caused 237,000 deaths globally. In this talk, I will first provide a historical overview of the epidemic in Wuhan. I will then provide the analysis results of 32,000 lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases in Wuhan to evaluate the effects of different public health interventions on controlling the COVID-19 outbreak, such as social distancing, isolation and quarantine, as well as summarizing the epidemiological characteristics of the cases. The results show that multi-faceted intervention measures successfully controlled the outbreak in Wuhan. I will next present the estimated effects of the social distancing measure using the data in Wuhan, USA and Europe on controlling the epidemic and the factors that are useful to consider for reopening. Strategies and challenges for different types of tests, such as PCR and antibody tests, and contact tracing will be discussed. Preliminary survey results of >500,000 participants of the HowWeFeel project on symptoms and health conditions in US will be presented. I will provide several take home messages and discuss priorities. A Simple Projection Model for COVID-19 Pandemic Speaker: Prof Jian LU, Chair Professor of Department of Biomedical Sciences, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Vice-President (Research and Technology), City University of Hong Kong Abstract: With the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19, a simple model to predict how the coronavirus pandemic will evolve in individual countries/ states becomes important and urgent. Our goal is to provide a prediction model for the coming days and weeks to help policy makers in different countries address the epidemic outbreak and adjust the control policies to contain the spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) more effectively. Daily update is provided to show the latest situation in different geographic locations over the world, including America, Europe, Asia... COVID-19 Dashboard for New York State Speaker: Prof Fengqi YOU, Roxanne E. and Michael J. Zak Professor of Energy Systems Engineering, Cornell University Abstract: In this presentation, there will be a short introduction and sharing on the visualization project/ dashboard for New Your State conducted by the group headed by Prof You. 5 28-29 May 2020, International Online Forum Modeling the Heterogeneous Disease-Behavior-Information Dynamics during Epidemics Speaker: Dr Qingpeng ZHANG, Assistant Professor of School of Data Science, City University of Hong Kong. Abstract: The transmission of infectious diseases depends on the social networks among people and the personal protections that people have taken before being exposed to the disease. Traditional epidemiological models assume homogeneous relationships in the social network. In this study, we propose a multiplex network framework for the modeling of the heterogeneous disease-behavior-information dynamics during epidemics, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In this framework, people’s vulnerability to the disease is influenced by the transmissions of information, behavior, and disease in the social network. Analytical and simulation results are presented to validate the model. Prevention of COVID-19 After the Relaxation of Control Measures Speaker: Dr Sean Yuan, Assistant Professor of Department of Biomedical Sciences, City University of Hong Kong Abstract: The current COVID-19 outbreak has caused an unprecedented global pandemic,
