Early Release - Potential Role of Social Distancing in Mitigating Spread of Coronavirus Disease, South Korea - Volume 26, Number 11—November 2020 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

In South Korea, the coronavirus disease outbreak peaked at the end of February and subsided in mid-March. We analyzed the likely roles of social distancing in reducing transmission. Our analysis indicated that although transmission might persist in some regions, epidemics can be suppressed with less extreme measures than those taken by China.
