Tracing contacts to evaluate the transmission of COVID-19 from highly exposed individuals in public transportation

Caio Ponte, Humberto A. Carmona, Erneson A. Oliveira +4

We investigate, through a data-driven contact tracing model, the transmission of COVID-19 inside buses during distinct phases of the pandemic in a large Brazilian city. From this m…
