TL;DR: This study provides the first large-scale quantitative approach to contact patterns relevant for infections transmitted by the respiratory or close-contact route, and the results should lead to improved parameterisation of mathematical models used to design control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
Joel Hellewell,Sam Abbott,Amy Gimma,Nikos I Bosse,Christopher I Jarvis,Timothy W Russell,James D Munday,Adam J. Kucharski,W. John Edmunds +8 more
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.
