A population-based controlled experiment assessing the epidemiological impact of digital contact tracing
While Digital contact tracing (DCT) has been argued to be a valuable complement to manual tracing in the containment of COVID-19, no empirical evidence of its effectiveness is available to date. Here, the authors report the results of a 4-week population-based controlled experiment, where they asses...

| description | While Digital contact tracing (DCT) has been argued to be a valuable complement to manual tracing in the containment of COVID-19, no empirical evidence of its effectiveness is available to date. Here, the authors report the results of a 4-week population-based controlled experiment, where they assessed the impact of the Spanish DCT app. |
