Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 transmission suggests epidemic control with digital contact tracing
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A mathematical model for infectiousness was developed to estimate the basic reproductive number R0 and to quantify the contribution of different transmission routes and the requirements for successful contact tracing, and the combination of two key parameters needed to reduce R0 to less than 1 was determined.
