Kucharski,Timothy W Russell,Charlie Diamond,Yang Liu,John Edmunds,Sebastian Funk,Rosalind M Eggo,Fiona Yueqian Sun,Mark Jit,James D Munday,Nicholas G Davies,Amy Gimma,Kevin van Zandvoort,Hamish Gibbs,Joel Hellewell,Christopher I Jarvis,Samuel Clifford,Billy J Quilty,Nikos I Bosse,Sam Abbott,Petra Klepac,Stefan Flasche +21 more
TL;DR: A stochastic transmission model is combined with data on cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Wuhan and international cases that originated inWuhan to estimate how transmission had varied over time during January, 2020, and February, 2020.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of controlling COVID-19 outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts

Davies,Yang Liu,Samuel Clifford,Petra Klepac,Mark Jit,Charlie Diamond,Hamish Gibbs,Kevin van Zandvoort,Sebastian Funk,Rosalind M Eggo +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a stochastic transmission model to assess if isolation and contact tracing are able to control onwards transmission from imported cases of COVID-19, and they used the model to quantify the potential effectiveness of contact tracing and isolation of cases at controlling a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-like pathogen.

TL;DR: Using a variety of statistical and dynamic modeling approaches, the authors estimate that this variant has a 43 to 90% (range of 95% credible intervals, 38 to 130%) higher reproduction number than preexisting variants, and a fitted two-strain dynamic transmission model shows that VOC 202012/01 will lead to large resurgences of COVID-19 cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of physical distancing measures on the progression of the COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan, China were investigated using synthetic location-specific contact patterns.
Feasibility of controlling COVID-19 outbreaks by isolation of cases and contacts

TL;DR: A mathematical model is used to assess if isolation and contact tracing are able to control onwards transmission from imported cases of COVID-19 and quantify the potential effectiveness of contact tracing and isolation of cases at controlling a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-like pathogen.
