Summary: Disease surveillance can be challenging during outbreaks: testing can be limited, eligibility criteria for testing evolve, and a substantial fraction of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals are asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. In addition, daily cases counts, new hospitalizations, and deaths reflect the past states of the epidemic. The objective of this talk is to present modeling work that examines the short-term transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in Québec and its impacts on hospitalizations.
