Abstract

In this study, the duration and effectiveness of contact and source research will be investigated. For example, the researchers will study transmission factors that can serve as a criterion for prioritisation and triage. The effectiveness of this is vital for taking the right decisions about government measures in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.
