Overall R = 2.6 in the baseline scenario
Objectives To estimate reduction in transmission under different control measures across settings and how many contacts would be quarantined per day in different strategies for a given level of symptomatic case incidence
Study details Data of the BBC Pandemic Dataset 2018
