Article Synopsis
- Social distancing effectively helps reduce the spread of viral infections when antiviral treatments and vaccines are limited, with subway usage reflecting social activity and distancing levels.
- This study analyzed the relationship between subway ridership and incidence rates of influenza and COVID-19 using statistical methods, revealing a significant link between subway use and influenza-like illness (ILI) rates.
- The findings indicate that while subway use correlated with ILI rates, it showed a negative relationship with COVID-19 activity, suggesting that reducing public transport usage alone won't significantly impact COVID-19; enhanced mask-wearing and targeted public health strategies are essential instead.
