No identifiable information regarding digital contact trails or personal health information that an individual enters on the application should be shared with other application users or public, private, and governmental agencies • Individual geolocation data should not be stored on a central server and should pass through a rigourous obfuscation protocol to reduce their information content to the bare minimum required for epidemiological and machine-learning modelling • Pseudonymised data should be used to inform machine-learning models, and only these data should be stored centrally on a protected server • Only non-identifiable aggregated data should be shared with public health institutions • The source code of the application and the algorithms used should be made accessible for public scrutiny •

summary:
  Tracing and isolating social contacts of symptomatic cases so they do not transmit onwards is beneficial but does not control transmission in isolation [14] . After the introduction of Test and Trace system in the UK only 20% of social contacts of cases were successfully traced and isolated within 48 hours, though this has substantially increased over time [16] .

  Reproducing SARS-CoV-2 epidemics byregion-specific variables and modeling contacttracing App containment

summary:
  To estimate contact rate as a function of population density we built on previous results by Rhodes and Anderson [11] who derived a formula for estimation of daily contact rate of a subject in a population with density ρ moving with velocityv as Where R is the minimum distance within which two individuals can be said to have a contact; for COVID-19, and other air-borne diseases transmitted by droplets expelled from nose or mouth, it is commonly estimated as 1m [14] . In contrast to previous work [9, 8] aimed at modeling the two-way dynamic between individual behaviors and containment policies, we chose to build a global compartmental modeling framework that can account for region-specific factors, such as the effect of population density on contact rate or the role of expected compliance to containment procedures.

  4 Currently, various different frameworks have been developed to build contact tracing, such as open frameworks (GA-PPTP, DP-3T, Blue Trace, TCN) or private and controlled (PEPP-PT). However, in order to be effective, contact tracing must be supported not only by solid technology, capable of minimising the risk of attacks, but also by a system offering safe communication with appropriate authorities.

  We analysed the baseline and physical distancing contact surveys by comparing the number of contacts in the community per participant stratified by several characteristics: age, gender, household size, day of the week, and occupation (as reported in the physical distancing survey, under the assumption that participants did not change occupation between the two surveys). Contact surveys have been successfully used to quantify the reduction in the number of contacts associated with physical distancing measures in Shanghai and Wuhan, China, estimated at 88% and 86%, respectively (Zhang et al., 2020) , and in the UK (Jarvis et al., 2020) among the adult population, at 74%.
