Projections of COVID-19 epidemics in LMIC countries

Using a published model of COVID-19 transmission and local population data, this collection of reports provides modelled projections of COVID--19 epidemics in 97+ countries under different intervention scenarios. Countries are organised by 3-letter ISO code. In addition to the reports, we also provide simulation outputs for use in other analyses.
