Tracing and testing multiple generations of contacts to COVID-19 cases: cost-benefit tradeoffs

2021-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Traditional contact tracing for COVID-19 tests the direct contacts of those who test positive even if the contacts do not show any symptom. But, by the time an infected individual is tested, the infection starting from the person may have infected a chain of individuals. Hence, why should the testing stop at direct contacts, and not test secondary, tertiary contacts or even contacts further down? One deterrent in...
