Country distancing increase reveals the effectiveness of travel restrictions in stopping COVID-19 transmission

Network approaches are key to understand epidemic spreading, inherently driven by human mobility patterns and constrained by transport systems. In this work, the authors develop a country distance framework to capture the spread of COVID-19 on top of the airline network, analyzing the effectiveness...
