The power of contact tracing. Yesterday, the CDC published one of the first comprehensive contact tracing studies. It was conducted in South Korea. I threw together a figure that depicts the study design. Briefly, South Korea identified 5,706 confirmed cases (i.e. index cases) and asked them to report their contacts (both in the household and out in public). The cases reported a total of 59,073 contacts. The cases and contacts were followed for at least 2 weeks.
