Digital contact tracing for SARS-COV-2

In our Science paper Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 transmission suggests epidemic control with digital contact tracing we show that the spread of COVID-19 is too fast to be contained by manual contact tracing alone but could be controlled if contact tracing was faster, more efficient and happened at scale, including via a mobile phone app. We present the results of our mathematical models of infectiousness and interventions in this Shiny web application, through which users can test the effects of alternative infection parameters.
