DESCRIPTION:During the COVID-19 pandemic\, it has been crucial understand 
 the characteristics of transmission and the implications for control. Epid
 emiology and mathematical modelling has played a central role in developin
 g this understanding\, from estimating key early information such as disea
 se severity\, extent of missed infections and properties of new variants\,
  to evaluating the potential effectiveness of control measures\, including
  contact tracing and social distancing measures. This talk will give an ov
 erview of the analysis conducted during COVID-19\, including contributions
