Mathematical models have played a key part in New Zealand's response to COVID-19. This project will use a combination of mathematical modelling and data science to investigate the transmission characteristics of the virus in New Zealand. Key questions  include: what is the potential for contact tracing to control the spread of COVID-19; what characteristics of digital tracing systems make them more effective; how could geographic and demographic differences in uptake of contact tracing systems affect epidemic spread; how can we effectively control COVID-19 in high-risk groups?
