    Document: Based on literature sources, the researched contact rate in NYC ranged from 5 for people who do not use the subway up to at least 10 for people who do utilize the subway [15] . Since this data was obtained and measured in 2003 and the population of NYC increased by 5% since then, this would yield contact rates of 5.25 and 12.5 today. Given that the number of subway users in NYC is higher than in any other city in the United States [16] , it was assumed that 70% of the NYC population take the subway on a daily basis and therefore are more active and effectively have more contact, also through surfaces. Together with the number of contacts for non-subway users, this would yield an average effective contact rate without restrictions or social distancing of 10.325.
