Abstract | Epidemic spread and drone technology are topics of broad research and public interest (the former heated by the current events, while the latter driven by the latest technological developments in the drone industry). We study the potential of using drones to deliver tests, enabling mass-testing for the infection. We show how the testing intensity, increased with the use of drones, may "flatten the curve" by quarantining test-positive population -- for that, we extend the classical SIR epidemic spread model, introducing the "quarantined" compartment and solving (numerically) differential equations which govern the extended model. |
