Study characteristics
Study design Mathematical modelling study 
  • Description: extended deterministic SEIR model

    • SEIR model including quarantine compartment and additional pre‐infection seeding as influx into the exposed class to estimate daily infection counts over time under quarantine scenarios. Assumes that there is no ongoing community transmission at the destination and that there is no pre‐symptomatic infectiousness.

Disease COVID‐19
Travel‐related control measure(s) Quarantine of travellers
  • All quarantined individuals were confined at home or to the university dormitory as per the current South Korean quarantine program for COVID‐19 (the model assessed scenarios with different rates of quarantine compliance: 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%)


Date of implementation: 15 days before and after 1 March 2020
Country implementing the measure(s) Country protected by the measure: South Korea
Country restricted by the measure: China
Outcome(s) Cases avoided due to the measure
  • Outcome: total number of infected individuals seeded by arriving students

    • Follow‐up: 180 days
