Title: Only strict quarantine measures can curb the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Italy, 2020 Cord-id: agnbus8b Document date: 2020_4_2
ID: agnbus8b
Snippet: Several Italian towns are under lockdown to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The level of transmission reduction required for physical distancing interventions to mitigate the epidemic is a crucial question. We show that very high adherence to community quarantine (total stay-home policy) and a small household size is necessary for curbing the outbreak in a locked-down town. The larger the household size and amount of time in the public, the longer the lockdown period needed.
