Implication of backward contact tracing in the presence of overdispersed transmission in COVID-19 outbreaks
Introduction: Contact tracing has the potential to control outbreaks without the need for
stringent physical distancing policies, eg civil lockdowns. Unlike forward contact tracing …

A scalable solution for signaling face touches to reduce the spread of surface-based pathogens
Hand-to-Face transmission has been estimated to be a minority, yet non-negligible, vector of
COVID-19 transmission and a major vector for multiple other pathogens. At the same time …
