The study also evaluated the effectiveness of public health measures, such as travel restrictions, in reducing the spread
A new study from a Belfast university has mapped the introduction and spread of coronavirus across Ireland using genetic networking techniques.
They also evaluated the effectiveness of public health measures, such as travel restrictions, in reducing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This finding highlights the role of internal transmission in driving infection rates and suggests that while travel restrictions reduced introductions of new Delta variants, their effect on overall infection rates was limited.
“This research will equip policymakers and health professionals with information to help them respond more effectively to future pandemics.”
