Optimal isolation strategies of emerging infectious diseases with limited resources by Yinggao Zhou, Jianhong Wu, Min Wu

“…A classical deterministic SIR model is modified to take into accountof limited resources for diagnostic confirmation/medical isolation. We show that this modificationleads to four different scenarios (instead of three scenarios in comparison with the SIR model) for optimal isolation strategies, and obtainanalytic solutions for the optimal control problem that minimize the outbreak size under the assumptionof limited resources for isolation. …”
