Population contact patterns in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic: results from a population-based survey in Canada

Interpersonal interaction between infectious and uninfected individuals facilitates the spread of COVID-19. We used data from the BC COVID-19 Population Mixing Patterns survey (BC-Mix) to investigate the contact patterns of residents of British Columbia over a period of one year (September 2020 to August 2021) during the pandemic. Contact patterns in British Columbia varied between September 2020 and July 2021, with a marked decline in average daily contacts noted immediately following the introduction of stricter physical distancing measures in November 2020.
