TLDR
In this paper, the authors compared the effectiveness of COVID-19 control policies on the virus's spread and on the change of the infection dynamics in China, Germany, Austria, and the USA relying on a regression discontinuity in time and epidemic models.Abstract:
This study compares the effectiveness of COVID-19 control policies on the virus’s spread and on the change of the infection dynamics in China, Germany, Austria, and the USA relying on a regression discontinuity in time and ‘earlyR’ epidemic models. The effectiveness of policies is measured by real-time reproduction number and cases counts. Comparison between the two lockdowns within each country showed the importance of people's risk perception for the effectiveness of the measures. Results suggest that restrictions applied for a long period or reintroduced later may cause at-tenuated effect on the circulation of the virus and the number of casualties.read more

TL;DR: Utilisation of mHealth may be a feasible and effective way to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but the small study samples and short study periods prevent generalisation of the findings and calls for larger, longitudinal studies that encompass diverse study settings.
