@C_Althaus am I right that no Scientific Task Force brief refers to overdispersion/superspreading? how come? doesn't this impact many other aspects, like contact tracing?

The relevance of superspreading for
#SARSCoV2 is discussed in a policy brief from 4 June 2020: Response to FOPH questions on masks and aerosol transmission https://ncs-tf.ch/en/policy-briefs …
The implications of superspreading for controlling #SARSCoV2 transmission were also discussed in our early @Eurosurveillanc paper from 30 January 2020: https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.4.2000058 …

We highlighted in the conclusions: “At this stage, particular attention should be given to the prevention of possible rare but explosive superspreading events, while the establishment of sustained transmission chains from single cases cannot be ruled out.”

And further: “The previous experience with SARS-CoV has shown that established practices of infection control, such as early detection and isolation, contact tracing and the use of personal protective equipment, can stop such an epidemic.”

I was aware of the Eurosurveillance paper hence why I was asking you. -
This being said, if that is the only mention, it misses quite a few areas where superspreading is relevant to FOPH, all related to backward contact tracing: * TTIQ * SwissCovid design * SORMAS and data exchange btw cantons
