Study characteristics
Study design Mathematical modelling study
  • Description: unspecified

    • Calculation of risk of importation and exportation of COVID‐19 between 1491 airports based on a passenger flow matrix proposed by Huang et al. (2010, Plos One), data on confirmed COVID‐19 cases until March 14 2020, provided by WorldPop and a risk flow calculation proposed by Gilbert et al. (2020, The Lancet)
