Demographic and epidemiological factors associated with COVID-19 superspreading persons in Gangwon province
SARS-CoV-2 transmission in Gangwon was highly overdispersed, with a small minority of cases responsible for a disproportionate share of spread. Targeted vaccination, rapid isolation of symptomatic or low-Ct index cases, and strengthened controls in high-risk workplaces and shared facilities may help blunt future superspreading.
