National Security Indicators Forecasting through the Pandemic

Using simulation modelling and systems science to help contain COVID‐19: A systematic review

“…Ten papers investigated the disruptions and uncertainties to the supply chain caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic (Achmad et al, 2021 ; Burgos & Ivanov, 2021 ; Choudhary et al, 2021 ; Duan et al, 2021 ; Ghadge et al, 2021 ; Moosavi & Hosseini, 2021 ; Nguyen, 2021 ; Sinha et al, 2020 ) and the post‐pandemic recovery strategies (Ivanov, 2021 ; Rahman et al, 2021 ). Twenty papers explored the other sectors at the national and regional levels, including industrial network (Song et al, 2020 ), tourism (Gu et al, 2021 ; Luo et al, 2021 ), national security (Prikazchikov et al, 2021 ), food–energy–water (Calder et al, 2021 ), economy (Chen et al, 2021 ; Fosco & Zurita, 2021 ; Inoue et al, 2021 ; Inoue & Todo, 2020 ; Sharma et al, 2021 ), financial (Spelta et al, 2021 ), social activity (de Brito Jr et al, 2021 ; Schmidt & Albert, 2021 ; Weibrecht et al, 2021 ), healthcare (Schlüter et al, 2021 ), employment (Marreros et al, 2021 ) and transport and land‐use (Habib & Anik, 2021 ). As the pandemic led to great collateral damage or process disruption to a variety of organizations, including banks (Shahabi et al, 2021 ), airlines (Delcea et al, 2020 ; Milne et al, 2020 , 2021 ), ambulatory endoscopy centres (Das, 2020 ), heart clinics (Zeinalnezhad et al, 2020 ), laboratories (Lim et al, 2020 ) and outpatient dialysis services (Allen, Bhanji, et al, 2020 ), necessary countermeasures were adopted to lower the risk of transmission and to improve effectiveness of these measures.…”
