BLACKSBURG, Va. A new research study is underway by a Virginia Tech professor in collaboration with researchers at Harvard. The results show that individual quarantines will be the best defense against future outbreaks of COVID-19. They used mathematical models to study how effective contact tracing is, using data about how the virus acts and how quickly it spreads. Instead of just monitoring your symptoms and going about your daily life if youve come in contact with someone whos infected, researchers found that isolation and quarantine are the best ways to stop the spread: 96% effective. As a comparison, just monitoring your symptoms, they found, is only 12% effective at controlling the spread of COVID-19.
