Abstract
Public indoor spaces are an important source of corona infections. Therefore, many measures are aimed at preventing infections in these spaces. In order to investigate which types of contacts in indoor spaces contribute most to the spread and how this can best be intervened, a virus spread model has been developed that models the behavior of people in indoor spaces in the presence or absence of measures and with different degrees of compliance. The models are informed by virological, epidemiological and crowd monitoring data. We have estimated where high-risk contacts occur in different types of spaces (restaurants, offices, train stations), which infection routes play the most important role in this and which measures are most effective in limiting infections, while maintaining economic activity. In addition, the model has been used to investigate the effect of different corona access cards, how this depends on the epidemiological situation as well as the degree of compliance in society.
