Abstract

Drs. Jacob Fisher and Yajuan Si (Institute for Social Research) are using survey data to generate estimates on how people of different age groups and in different parts of Michigan are in contact with each other in public places, schools, workplaces and homes. Their results will provide critical information to policymakers on how to minimize both the spread of infection and economic disruption.
