Title: Implication of backward contact tracing in the presence of overdispersed transmission in COVID-19 outbreak Cord-id: 65eecrug Document date: 2020_8_4
ID: 65eecrug
Snippet: Unlike forward contact tracing, backward contact tracing identifies the source of newly detected cases. This approach is particularly valuable when there is high individual-level variation in the number of secondary transmissions. By using a simple branching process model, we explored the potential of combining backward contact tracing with more conventional forward contact tracing for control of COVID-19.
