Evaluating strategies for global respiratory pandemic control at ports: a modelling study by Gregory Gan, Jue Tao Lim, Tong Guan, Sharon Esi Duoduwa, S Balakumar, Janhavi A, Borame L Dickens

“…Long waiting times at ports, substantial economic losses and massive supply chain disruption of essential and medical goods were observed. To minimise this for future pandemic preparedness, we explore the use of quarantining and testing of crews preboarding instead of quarantining at port calls or during voyages.Methods Using a microsimulation model of 10 000 vessels and 300 000 crew, we examine the effectiveness of nine predeparture control strategies in reducing COVID-19 outbreak sizes, from no control to the use of 7-day and 14-day quarantining, and addition of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or antigen rapid test (ART) testing. …”
