Mathematical modeling of contact tracing and stability analysis to inform its impact on disease outbreaks; an application to COVID-19

We develop a mathematical model to investigate the effect of contact tracing on containing epidemic outbreaks and slowing down the spread of transmissible diseases. We propose a discrete-time epidemic model structured by disease-age which includes general features of contact tracing. The model is fi...
