Retrospective analysis of the Italian exit strategy from COVID-19 lockdown

Valentina Marziano et al.

Summary: After the national lockdown in Italy on March 11, 2020, economic and social activities gradually resumed from May 4 while schools remained closed until September 14. The government's strategy in keeping the reproduction number close to one had a marginal impact on transmission, with reopening of workplaces and educational levels affecting the disease burden differently. It is projected that school reopening in September may lead to a large second wave of COVID-19.

Alternating quarantine for sustainable epidemic mitigation

Dror Meidan et al.

Summary: The alternating quarantine strategy effectively reduces infectious interactions and provides a significant decrease in transmission while maintaining socioeconomic continuity. The weekly alternations also help address the specific challenge of COVID-19 by isolating the majority of infected individuals precisely at the time of their peak infection.

Digital proximity tracing on empirical contact networks for pandemic control

G. Cencetti et al.

Summary: Digital contact tracing is increasingly recognized as a tool to control infectious disease outbreaks, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors present a modeling framework based on high-resolution contact data to analyze the impact of digital contact tracing apps. Results suggest that isolation and tracing can help control re-emerging outbreaks under specific conditions.

Differences in risk perception, knowledge and protective behaviour regarding COVID-19 by education level among women and men in Germany. Results from the COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) study

Petra Rattay et al.

Summary: The study in Germany investigated the impact of education level on risk perception, knowledge, and protective behavior regarding COVID-19. Results showed that higher education level was associated with greater emphasis on factual knowledge and perceived severity, while lower education level was linked with higher perceived severity. However, education level had no significant effect on perceived susceptibility or fear of COVID-19.

Worldviews, trust, and risk perceptions shape public acceptance of COVID-19 public health measures

Michael Siegrist et al.

Summary: Factors such as individualistic worldviews, high general interpersonal trust, low social trust, and perceptions of neglected risks influence public acceptance of COVID-19 measures. A decrease in the number of infected people led to reduced risk perceptions, lower social trust, increased perceptions of neglected risks, and ultimately a decline in acceptance of the measures.

Self-initiated behavioral change and disease resurgence on activity-driven networks

Nicole Gozzi et al.

Summary: Research suggests that during an epidemic, a small number of individuals who do not change their behavior may offset the efforts of the majority of the population, while perfect social bubbles with normal social activity may be less effective than an overall reduction in social interactions.

Effect of manual and digital contact tracing on COVID-19 outbreaks: a study on empirical contact data

A. Barrat et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of combining manual contact tracing and digital contact tracing to effectively mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic and reduce societal costs. The findings show a linear relationship between the fraction of contacts recalled during MCT and app adoption rate, with the effect being quadratic, highlighting the potential for significant cost reductions if app adoption and MCT efficiency are sufficiently high.
