Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Citation in other policy documents
Impact Towards the end of 2020 rapid research was undertaken to evaluate the significance of a new variant of SARS-Cov-2 that had emerged in the UK, with phylodynamic analysis coupled with epidemiological analysis demonstrating significantly increased transmissibility of the new variant of concern. Submitted for publication: Volz et al. (2021) Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Lineage B.1.1.7 in England: Insights from linking epidemiological and genetic data. medRxiv https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.12.30.20249034. In December 2020, phylodynamic analysis provided the first estimates of increased transmissibility of the new Variant of Concern 202012/01 (VOC) of up to 70%, the figure cited by the Prime Minister in his statement on 19th December that led to the decision to put more regions of the UK into Tier 4 restriction and eventually the 3rd UK national lockdown in January 2021.

Title Global COVID-19 LMIC reports 
Description COVID-19 has caused large-scale outbreaks in many countries, particularly in Europe and Asia where many countries have experienced a level of healthcare demand that have placed health systems under strain. Many countries, particularly Low- or Middle Income countries (LMICs) (shown below), are at an earlier stage of the epidemic. 26 countries have reported fewer than 100 COVID-19 deaths. However, following the implementation of widespread suppression measures around the world, COVID-19 burden is increasingly becoming concentrated in LMICs. Here we aim to provide each country with an indication of where they are in their epidemic and scenarios of how healthcare demand is likely to vary over the next 28 days. Changes in transmission from today will also shape the next 28 days so these estimates should not be viewed as predictions but scenarios to help countries understand how strategies today are likely to shape the next phase of the epidemic. Specifically, these reports will aim to help countries understand: 1. The total number of COVID-19 infections 2. The expected number of deaths within the next 28 days 3. The number of individuals requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilation in the next 28 days 4. The impact of changing their current intervention policy

Title Re-parameterisedindividual-based simulation model developed for influenza pandemic planning 
Description To support the UK response to the pandemic, an individual-based simulation model developed for influenza pandemic planning was re-parameterised to enable specific policy scenarios to be explored, including home isolation of suspect cases, home quarantine of household members, social distancing and school closures. Working closely with the NHS executive, the model parameter assumptions were aligned with emerging UK data to explicitly output demand on hospital beds and intensive care facilities in the UK. The outputs from this work - summarised in "Report 9" - demonstrated that under even the most stringent mitigation scenarios (whereby transmission is reduced but not interrupted), the UK health service would quickly become overwhelmed. In contrast, suppression strategies, whilst enabling the epidemic to be brought quickly under control, would need to be intermittently sustained until other therapeutic options became available.

PI Contribution EASAG is a newly formed group led by the University of California, San Francisco's (UCSF) Malaria Elimination Initiative (MEI), working in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, Lancaster University, and the National Malaria Programs and Partners from Mozambique and Nigeria aiming to develop, pilot, and evaluate a spatiotemporal model-based entomological adaptive sampling framework (EASF). The project is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and will run for the period of July 2021-March 2024. I have been invited as an advisory member to help provide technical expertise on the statistical modelling and protocol, brainstorm adaptive sampling and link findings to other platforms which could include the MINT webtool designed as part of the deliverables of the UKRI FLF award. I look forward to the first virtual meeting to be held in April.
Collaborator Contribution The group has identified that using adaptive surveillance sampling methods could produce better data for decision making. The key question asks whether the EASF's sampling strategies can improve the accuracy and efficiently of surveillance efforts to capture spatial and temporal changes in vector species compositions, behavior and insecticide resistance relative to current approaches over two transmission seasons in Mozambique and Nigeria. This has potential to better protect communities within countries suffering high burdens of malaria parasite infections, illness and deaths by optimising surveillance data methods for decision makers.
Impact The project has just begun.

Title COVID-19 NAT-RDT 
Description Background Although nucleic acid tests (NAT) have been widely used in testing for COVID-19, they are not always readily available. NAT tests usually require laboratory capacity, as well as trained personnel, and can also be prohibitively costly when conducting large numbers of tests, e.g. when testing for COVID-19 in the community. Recently emerging, antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) could help to address these challenges, by offering cheap, easy-to-use tools that could be deployed at the point of care. However, they typically have lower performance than NAT. To decide testing strategy In any local setting, it is important to properly weigh the pros and cons of both NAT and Ag-RDTs, in order to identify optimal diagnostic strategies. This webtool offers a resource to aid in these evaluations. Comparing different testing strategies An 'Ag-RDT-led' strategy is one in which Ag-RDT is used as the first test, but could be followed by NAT for confirmation. There are three such strategies: confirming Ag-RDT-positive results with NAT; confirming Ag-RDT-negative results with NAT; and using an Ag-RDT alone, i.e. without need for NAT confirmation. A 'NAT-based' strategy uses NAT wherever it is available to provide results in time for clinical decisions; otherwise, it is assumed that a patient would be managed through clinical judgement on whether a patient has COVID-19. This webtool compares these two strategies, to identify when an Ag-RDT-led strategy would be preferred over a NAT-based one. The approach is to assume fixed characteristics for an Ag-RDT (sensitivity, specificity and cost), and to examine a wide range of values for other parameters, for example the availability of NAT, and the performance of clinical judgement in the absence of NAT. Under this wide range of scenarios, this webtool examines the probability that an Ag-RDT-led strategy would be simultaneously more impactful, and more cost-effective, than a NAT-based strategy.

Title COVID-19 Scenario Analysis Tool (covidsim) 
Description The COVID-19 Scenario Analysis Tool enables users quickly and easily to generate calibrated forward scenarios of the COVID-19 epidemic in low- and middle-income countries in order to facilitate health planning. The latest release allows the user to explore the introduction of vaccination and how this can be used to help relax other non-pharmaceutical interventions. This tool allows the user to make projections of the prevalence of infections each day and the expected number of people requiring hospitalisation and critical care facilities. The relative benefits of different scenarios can be compared with metrics including health system capacity (maximum number of beds and critical care beds needed compared to those available), the peak of the epidemic, and the total projected deaths up to 1st February 2021. The model is automatically re-calibrated weekly to the cumulative COVID-19 deaths reported, obtained from the COVID-19 Data Repository by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University. For countries not included in that data repository we use data from Worldometers.

Impact CovidSim models the transmission dynamics and severity of COVID-19 infections throughout a spatially and socially structured population over time. It enables modelling of how intervention policies and healthcare provision affect the spread of COVID-19. It is used to inform health policy by making quantitative forecasts of (for example) cases, deaths and hospitalisations, and how these will vary depending on which specific interventions, such as social distancing, are enacted. With parameter changes, it can be used to model other respiratory viruses, such as influenza.

Impact Two papers published (Cori et al. AJE 2013, Thompson et al. Epidemics 2019). The method gained tremendous attention during the covid-19 pandemic, as it was found to be the most accurate in a review of methods to estimate Rt (Gostik et al., PLoS Comp Biol 2020). EpiEstim is being used routinely by the following national or local governmental and public health agencies worldwide to monitor their Covid-19 epidemics, who publish estimates of Rt obtained using EpiEstim on their websites on a daily or weekly basis: • National Institute of Health in France • Federal Public Service for Public Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment of Belgium • Swiss national COVID-19 Science Task force • National center for epidemiology in Spain • Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety • Quebec's national institute for public health • Public Health Ontario • Ottawa public health • Department of health of the state of New Jersey • City of St Louis, USA • Ministry of health of Bermuda • Ministry of Health of Brazil The Welsh government has estimated the impact of the firebreaker introduced in Wales in October 2020 using EpiEstim . WHO PAHO (Pan American Health Organization) has developed an interface to help country estimate the rate of transmission of COVID-19 using EpiEstim, and has included EpiEstim training as part of their early response to COVID-19 in Argentina and Barbados. EpiEstim also appears as the recommended software to estimate the reproduction number in documents produced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) • on criteria to adjust public health and social measures in the context of COVID-19 • on equitable allocation of COVID-19 health products UPDATE 2022: In 2021 EpiEstim was extended to track the transmissibility of novel variants in real time.

Title Estimating excess non-COVID deaths in England & Wales from ONS data (Katharina Hauck) 
Description Weekly updates of deaths in England and Wales using publicly available data on the provisional number of deaths registered in the past week from the Office of National Statistics (see Data). We show the number of registered all-cause deaths, and the deaths registered as COVID-19 deaths as provided by the ONS for every week beginning in March 2020. We compare the all-cause deaths with the number of deaths we would have expected to see being registered in this week had there been no pandemic, based on numbers of deaths in corresponding weeks of previous years, and determine the number of excess deaths as the difference. We then compare the excess deaths with the recorded COVID-19 deaths, which gives an estimate of excess deaths that were not associated with COVID-19 according to official registers. These estimates of excess non-COVID-19 deaths inform whether the pandemic led to unexpected deaths that were higher (or lower) than what we would have expected in that week. It is possible that all or almost all excess deaths comprise of registered COVID-19 deaths, in that situation there are no excess non-COVID-19 deaths. It is also possible that excess non-COVID-19 deaths are actually lower than expected deaths, once registered COVID-19 deaths are subtracted from excess deaths. We also present total cumulative deaths across all categories. This is the sum of registered all-cause deaths, COVID-19 deaths, expected deaths and excess non-COVID-19 deaths from the week ending 6 March 2020 to 05 November 2021 Hauck K, Ferguson N.

Title epidemia 
Description Flexibly specify and fit Bayesian, regression-oriented models for infectious diseases. The implemented models define a likelihood for all observed data while also explicitly modeling transmission dynamics: an approach often termed as semi-mechanistic. Multiple regions can be modeled simultaneously with multilevel models. Key epidemiological quantities, including reproduction numbers and latent infections, may be estimated within the framework. The models may be used to evaluate the determinants of changes in transmission rates, including the effects of control measures. Epidemic dynamics may be simulated either from a fitted model or a "prior" model; allowing for prior/posterior predictive checks, experimentation, and forecasting.

Results and Impact I gave numerous interviews on the disease dynamics of COVID-19 from January 2020 to October 2021. This entry does not relate to the REACT study. I also gave many interviews essentially about situational awareness. Interviews included Channel 4 News, the Today Program, CNN International (>300 million audience), Bloomberg, plus many print media. During early February 2020, it became apparent that there was an intense need for clear evidence-based situational awareness. I would call out my Bloomberg slots in particular. After the global market turmoil in mid-february 2020 it was apparent that financial markets were reacting to many different extreme opinions.

Results and Impact What is the impact of COVID-19 on other diseases? The new coronavirus has spread almost everywhere on our planet. Governments have taken various measures to try and control the disease - many of us are in lockdown, and lots of schools and businesses are closed. Some people have lost their jobs. These (and other) measures have consequences for other diseases as well. We wanted to assess what impact the coronavirus epidemic would have on three other current epidemics: HIV, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria. These three diseases are a major threat, especially in poorer countries. (Report 19)

Results and Impact Professor Neil Ferguson, director of the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London, said: "The new ONS data on deaths is encouraging in suggesting the second devastating wave of the pandemic is behind us. But calling epidemics 'waves' can be misleading, in implying a phenomenon that has reached a natural end. That is not the case here. The rapid decline in deaths we've thankfully seen is entirely because of the lockdown and the rapid roll-out of vaccines. So while I'm optimistic that this we will be able to return to something more like normal in the next few months, we need to remain vigilant and cautious in the pace with which social distancing is relaxed
- particularly given the threat still posed by new variants of the virus."
