Stability at low case numbers: a matter of balance

Caption

Spreading dynamics depend on the balance between destabilizing and stabilizing contributions and on the level of case numbers. Among the factors that destabilize the spread, are the natural contagiousness of the disease and the external influx of infections and possibly seasonality. On the other hand, these factors are counterweighted by increased hygiene, testing strategies, contact reduction and immunity which contribute to stability.
