Estimated Impacts of CICT, and Other NPIs, by Locationa Over 60-day Period After Contact Tracing Evaluations Initiated

Location 1 Location 2 Location 3 Location 4

Transmission fraction
 Reduction from CICT 8.6%-26.2% 5.0%-5.2% 1.4%-2.7% 0.4%-0.4%
 Reduction from other NPIsb 54.6%-36.6% 57.6%-57.3% 63.5%-62.0% 61.0%-61.0%
 Remaining transmission (100% minus above values) 36.8%-37.2% 37.4%-37.5% 35.1%-35.3% 38.6%-38.6%
Additional cases averted by CICT (%c), 60 days 651–9 480 12 598–13 568 344–768 859–882
(67.1%-96.8%) (47.1%-48.8%) (15.4%-28.8%) (4.4%-4.5%)
Additional hospitalizations averted by CICT (%c), 60 days 16–233 310–333 8–19 21–22
(67.1%-96.8%) (47.1%-48.8%) (15.4%-28.8%) (4.4%-4.5%)

Abbreviations: CICT, case investigation and contact tracing; other NPIs, other nonpharmaceutical interventions.

a

CICT implemented per scenarios in Table 1 and effects were assumed constant over 60 days.

b

Other NPI interventions including masks use, social distancing, school and restaurant closures, etc. Low NPI effectiveness values were generated with the fitting process when CICT effectiveness was high; similarly, high NPI effectiveness values were generated when CICT effectiveness was low.

c

Percent calculated as (Total Cases when only other NPIs implemented - Total Cases when both CICT and other NPIs implemented)/(Total Cases when only other NPIs implemented). Essentially, for every 100 remaining cases after other NPIs were implemented, CICT averted between 4.4 and 96.8 additional cases.
