As the Novel Coronavirus continues to rage around the world claiming more and more lives each day and crushing the global economy, scientists and researchers are trying to contain the pandemic by simulating various lockdown scenarios for different countries. In a similar scenario simulation for an EU-backed study, researchers have proposed a new lockdown format that might be the best shot we have surviving this bizarre and dangerous time.

In this final case, the scientists were able to achieve the lowest R0 for the virus, which is 0.5, with much fewer death tolls for the countries. However, with this format also, the pandemic lasted for almost 18 months for all the countries.
