Extinction of COVID-19 Clusters in a Lebanese Village: A Quick, Adapted Molecular and Contact tracing

2020-11-30

Abstract excerpt

There is growing evidence of cluster transmission and superspreading of SARS-CoV-2, implying heterogeneous dispersion. We discuss the successful containment of COVID-19 local outbreak in Bcharreh, the small town of 4500 inhabitants, in Northern Lebanon. We look at the dynamics of cluster transmission and viral load evolution throughout the outbreak. SARS-CoV-2 PCR test was proposed to all exposed individuals. Pers...
