Cases of COVID-19 are likely to increase after current social-distancing measures are eased:

A study published in Science (A leading journal of biomedical research) has shown.

Yonatan Grad, Marc Lipsitch and their colleagues at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, modelled the spread of coronaviruses in places that have temperate climates, such as the United States. The results helped the team to predict the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (S.M. Kissler et al. Science http://doi.org/drz3; 2020).

The researchers found that if SARS-CoV-2 spreads more efficiently in some seasons than in others — as influenza virus does, for example — the peak number of COVID-19 cases after social distancing ends could be larger than the peak number without any social distancing at all. That’s because distancing measures leave a high proportion of people susceptible to infection, leading to a spike of disease if viral transmission ramps up late in the year.

If human immunity to SARS-CoV-2 wanes over the course of a few years, the virus is likely to cause repeated outbreaks in wintertime, the authors say.
