Maximizing and evaluating the impact of test-trace-isolate programs
TLDR
A mathematical modeling framework is presented to evaluate the expected reductions in the reproductive number of R from test-trace-isolate programs and shows that R is most sensitive to changes to the proportion of infections detected in almost all scenarios, and other metrics have a reduced impact when case detection levels are low.
Incidence and length of outbreak period of COVID-19 and population density in comparison with seasonal influenza in Japan
Properties of the Omicron Variant of SARS-CoV-2 Affect Public Health Measure Effectiveness in the COVID-19 Epidemic

TLDR
Although the short generation time of the Omicron variant increases the effectiveness of vaccination and the reduction of interpersonal contact, it decreases the effectivenessof early isolation, which may make the containment of case clusters difficult.
Rapid response to a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in a psychiatry hospital—Kanazawa City, Japan, March to April 2020
Abstract A coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in a psychiatry hospital revealed specific challenges in its response such as difficulty in isolation, transfer, and identification of close…
Secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during the first two waves in Japan: Demographic characteristics and overdispersion
Advance Publication by J-STAGE
TLDR
In patients with Enterobacteriaceae-induced bacteremia, which is associated with considerable mortality, empirical antibiotics are administered intravenously and intravenous-to-oral transition, which can reduce costs and the length of the hospital stay, may be as effective as continued intravenous therapy.
Assessment of teachers' knowledge about Covid-19 infection and provision of control strategies in schools of Al-Basrah Governorate
This study included taking samples from schools in Basra Governorate. The number of participating schools was (8) schools from different regions in the governorate, different educational levels and…
COVID-19 case-clusters and transmission chains in the communities in Japan
Coronavirus Disease Contact Tracing Outcomes and Cost, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA, March–May 2020
TLDR
Contact tracing reduced the number of cases between contact generations and time between symptom onset and investigation but required substantial resources but can help jurisdictions allocate resources for contact tracing.

Closed environments facilitate secondary transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
TLDR
It is plausible that closed environments contribute to secondary transmission of COVID-19 and promote superspreading events, as gathering in closed environments was prohibited in the wake of the rapid spread of the disease.

Quantifying SARS-CoV-2 transmission suggests epidemic control with digital contact tracing
TLDR
A mathematical model for infectiousness was developed to estimate the basic reproductive number R0 and to quantify the contribution of different transmission routes and the requirements for successful contact tracing, and the combination of two key parameters needed to reduce R0 to less than 1 was determined.
Response to COVID-19 in Taiwan: Big Data Analytics, New Technology, and Proactive Testing.
TLDR
Taiwan is an example of how a society can respond quickly to a crisis and protect the interests of its citizens in the face of an emerging epidemic.
