Disease control across urban–rural gradients
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 17(173), 20200775.
author keywords: disease spread; epidemiological metapopulation dynamics; pandemic control; source-sink dynamics
MeSH headings : Asymptomatic Infections / epidemiology; COVID-19 / epidemiology; COVID-19 / prevention & control; COVID-19 / transmission; Communicable Disease Control / methods; Computer Simulation; Contact Tracing; Humans; Models, Biological; Pandemics / prevention & control; Physical Distancing; Rural Population; SARS-CoV-2; Social Interaction; Urban Population; Wales / epidemiology
TL;DR:
The model shows that isolation of symptomatic cases or regional lockdowns in response to local outbreaks have limited efficacy unless the overall transmission rate is kept persistently low, and highlights the importance of test-and-trace strategies and maintaining low transmission rates for efficiently controlling SARS-CoV-2 spread, both at landscape scale and in urban areas.

COVID-19 control across urban-rural gradients
Wells, K., Lurgi, M., Collins, B., Lucini, B., Kao, R. R., Lloyd, A. L., … Gravenor, M. B. (2020, September 9). (Vol. 9). Vol. 9.
