Effectiveness of isolation measures with app support to contain COVID-19 epidemics: a parametric approach.

This is probably the main limitation of the model, which may thus underestimate the effectiveness of the isolation measures: While backward contact tracing is in general less effective when timeliness in isolating infected individuals is key, it must be noted that its effect may be significant for epidemics for which super-spreaders, i.e. individuals that infect a large number of people, have a major impact on the contagion.
