    Snippet: Mobility restrictions may have a large impact on the number of COVID-19 patients: before February, 2021, the epidemic may infect as much as 70% or as low as 0.5% of the population, if the mobility restrictions are weak (10%) or very strict (60%), respectively. Figure 5 shows that the combination of contact tracing with comprehensive testing produces very significant improvement in controlling the epidemic. This improvement is particularly noticea.....
    Document: Mobility restrictions may have a large impact on the number of COVID-19 patients: before February, 2021, the epidemic may infect as much as 70% or as low as 0.5% of the population, if the mobility restrictions are weak (10%) or very strict (60%), respectively. Figure 5 shows that the combination of contact tracing with comprehensive testing produces very significant improvement in controlling the epidemic. This improvement is particularly noticeable under mild-to-moderate general mobility restrictions. This suggests that an effective use of testing and tracing makes it possible to manage the epidemic with significantly lower indiscriminate restrictions and therefore with much less economic and social damage. For example, the same mortality of 1000 people results from approx. 20 percentage points lower level of general mobility restrictions.
