Table 4.

Selection of appropriate numerators and denominators from a Venn diagram based on SwissCovid digital proximity tracing app use after respondent follow-up. Letters in square brackets—[]—reflect subpopulations (Venn segments) of app users and those in curly brackets—{}— reflect the subset of individuals who did not use the app.
