(orcid)0000-0002-1192-8707 Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted While severe social-distancing measures have proven effective in slowing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, second-wave scenarios are likely to emerge as restrictions are lifted. Here we integrate anonymized, geolocalized mobility data with census and demographic data to build a detailed agent-based model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission in the Boston metropolitan area. We find that a period of strict social distancing followed by a robust level of testing, contact-tracing and household quarantine could keep the disease within the capacity of the healthcare system while enabling the reopening of economic activities. Our results show that a response system based on enhanced testing and contact tracing can have a major role in relaxing social-distancing interventions in the absence of herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-17R-FENOL info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2016-78904-C3-3-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FIS2017-87519-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 13.663 2020 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 5 / 71 = 0.07 2020 Q1 T1 PSYCHOLOGY, EXPERIMENTAL 2 / 90 = 0.022 2020 Q1 T1 NEUROSCIENCES 9 / 273 = 0.033 2020 Q1 T1 3.434 2020 Behavioral Neuroscience 2020 Q1 Social Psychology 2020 Q1 Experimental and Cognitive Psychology 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Martín-Corral, D.
