Total Containment of Libreville, Police Checks and Risk of Propagation of COVID-19

Abstract

The malicious actions of certain police officers deployed on the ground by the Gabonese authorities with the aim of enforcing the total containment of Libreville may encourage the propagation of COVID-19. It is the result of modeling social interactions between a corrupt police officer assigned to a checkpoint, motorists and their passengers. In fact, following police corruption, 5 people are likely to be infected on the first day and a total of 573 people at the end of the containment period.
