The Oxford Modelling Group for Global Health (OMGH) is developing model structures to estimate the impact of potential mitigation strategies. By changing the input data and parameter values, the models can be adjusted to represent a national or subnational setting. In addition, a user friendly application and interface is being developed to enable widespread utility.

The COVID-19 International Modelling Consortium (CoMo Consortium) was created by researchers at the University of Oxford and Cornell University. The CoMo Consortium is partnering with infectious disease modellers and public health experts from over 40 countries in Africa, Asia and America. The CoMo Consortium uses a participatory approach to provide decision-making support to policymakers, using evidence from epidemiological and economic models adapted to each country’s context.

The CoMo Philippines group is the Philippines country team that is supporting the use of the model specific to the Philippines as part of the CoMo Consortium.
