    Team 2 with DQ "What does “flatten the curve” mean? And how math is helping?"

    Team 3 with DQ "Can we learn from the past? Can models of old pandemics be useful to avoid making errors and saving lives?"

    Team 4 with DQ "When must be taken measures to contain the spread of a virus? The importance of contact tracing and how to identify reliable indicators."

    International teams collaborate on the forum to answer a quiz about their towns/regions. The team with the best average score will win the competition, so it is very important each member of the team collaborate, helping their foreign mates to answer correctly to the questions.

    This is the link to the quiz.
