The Impact of Contact Tracing on the Control of COVID-19 Outbreak in BC.

Efficient contact tracing and broad testing along with some level of physical distancing could mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within a context of low transmission levels. We developed a branching process transmission model to assess the impact of conventional and app-based contact tracing in conjunction with various levels of physical distancing on Covid-19 epidemic control. In this work, we took a focused local approach informing each aspect of the analysis with data from British Columbia, Canada. A package of this model can be found in https://github.com/bcgov/epi.branch.sim TEAM Rebeca C. Falcao, Henry Ngo, Mike Irvine, Naveed Janjua, Michael Otterstatter
