Effects of social distancing and isolation on epidemic spreading modeled via dynamical density functional theory

Existing models describing epidemic spreading need an update to capture effects of social distancing and isolation. An extended model is proposed by te Vrugt et al. by drawing an analogy between persons and diffusing particles with repulsive interactions that correspond to social distancing.
