  • Quantifying Sars-CoV-2 transmission suggests epidemic control with digital contact tracing

    Open AccessLuca Ferretti, Chris Wymant et al.ARTICLEScience2020

    Instantaneous contact tracing New analyses indicate that severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is more infectious and less virulent than the earlier SARS-CoV-1, which emerged in China in 2002. Unfortunately, the current virus has greater epidemic potential because it is difficult to trace mild or presymptomatic infections. As no treatment is currently available, the only tools that we can currently deploy to stop the epidem…

  • Ethics of instantaneous contact tracing using mobile phone apps in the control of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessMichael Parker, Michael J Parker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2020

    In this paper we discuss ethical implications of the use of mobile phone apps in the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Contact tracing is a well-established feature of public health practice during infectious disease outbreaks and epidemics. However, the high proportion of pre-symptomatic transmission in COVID-19 means that standard contact tracing methods are too slow to stop the progression of infection through the population. To address this p…

  • A New Framework and Software to Estimate Time-Varying Reproduction Numbers During Epidemics

    Anne Cori, Neil M Ferguson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Epidemiology2013

    The quantification of transmissibility during epidemics is essential to designing and adjusting public health responses. Transmissibility can be measured by the reproduction number R, the average number of secondary cases caused by an infected individual. Several methods have been proposed to estimate R over the course of an epidemic; however, they are usually difficult to implement for people without a strong background in statistical modeling. …
