In this article, we present a dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) [18] [19] [20] [21] for epidemic spreading that allows to model the effect of social distancing and isolation on infection numbers. While DDFT is not an exact theory (it is based on the assumption that the density is the only slow variable in the system [50, 51] ), it is nevertheless a significant improvement compared to the standard diffusion equation as it allows to incor-porate the effects of particle interactions and generally shows excellent agreement with microscopic simulations.	./cache/cord-248050-apjwnwky.txt	./txt/cord-248050-apjwnwky.txt
