Title: Spatial modelling of COVID-19 in Norway using real-time mobility data

Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, mathematical modelling has been a key tool for guiding decision making in several countries, contributing to governments implementing interventions ranging from simple hygienic advice to complete lockdowns. We present the model that the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has been using for situational awareness and forecasting of COVID-19 in Norway. The model is informed by real-time mobile phone mobility data and seeded with imported cases from abroad. By calibrating to disease case data using approximate Bayesian computation, the model has been used to estimate reproduction numbers for situational awareness, and to predict the need for hospital and intensive care beds.
