Resumen:

Widespread testing, tracing, and isolation of cases are among the many nonpharmaceutical interventions needed to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Nevertheless, financial and logistical constraints may lead to scenarios in which suboptimal amounts of tests can be performed. In this chapter, we show that by leveraging structural features of the contact network of Mexico City on which the infectious agent spreads, we may increase the number of infectious individuals traced from a set of passively detected cases. Such strategy can be used to cut transmission chains proactively. © 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
