Critical time-dependent branching process modelling epidemic spreading with containment measures

Hanlin Sun, Ivan Kryven, Ginestra Bianconi

During the COVID pandemic, periods of exponential growth of the disease have been mitigated by containment measures that in different occasions have resulted in a power-law growth…

COVID-19 is linked to changes in the time-space dimension of human mobility

Clodomir Santana, Federico Botta, Hugo Barbosa +3

Socio-economic constructs and urban topology are crucial drivers of human mobility patterns. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, these patterns were reshaped in their com…
