Summary: Based on data from contact tracing in Helsinki, the study evaluated the effectiveness of isolating COVID-19 cases and quarantining their contacts in Finland during a mild growth phase of the epidemic. Without isolation or quarantine, 40% of transmission was estimated to occur on or after symptom onset. Quarantining cases before symptoms led to a 50% reduction in secondary infections, but the effectiveness was smaller for cases isolated after symptoms. Overall, case isolation and quarantine were found to significantly reduce the growth rate of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Summary: The study assessed the use, knowledge, and concerns of the COVID Alert app in Canada, identified predictors of app downloads, and developed strategies to promote social acceptability. Key findings included government messaging as the biggest influence on app download and concerns about cybersecurity and privacy. Identified predictors for app uptake included nine characteristics. Strategies for promoting social acceptability included improved communication, design features, socio-technical inclusivity, and public partnership.

Summary: The global spread of COVID-19 has led to the exploration of digital technologies for contact tracing, with exposure notification being favored due to its ease of use, scalability, and protection of personal privacy. The Google Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) protocol, developed through a partnership between Google and Apple, has been widely implemented worldwide. However, the deployment of GAEN apps and their effectiveness assessment present challenges.

Summary: The study suggests that testing contacts and reducing quarantine duration can be effective in limiting onward transmission of COVID-19, with potential for substantial reduction in the length of quarantine with a small excess in transmission risk. Adherence to quarantine and self-isolation, along with decreasing test and trace delays, are key factors in improving the effectiveness of these strategies. Further research is needed to evaluate the costs and benefits of implementing such strategies as policy.

Summary: A collaborative cross-disciplinary approach was used to derive best practice guidance for designing the ideal digital contact tracing app. Various considerations from the literature, such as ethical, user experience, privacy and data protection, technical, clinical and societal, and evaluation factors, were identified. Key recommendations include voluntary participation, equitable availability, user engagement strategies, adherence to data protection principles, use of Bluetooth Low Energy for contact event detection, and decentralized privacy-preserving protocols. Evaluation metrics for digital contact tracing apps were also highlighted, emphasizing the importance of transparent reporting of outcomes.
