cord-295293-ickp2n47	Latsuzbaia, Ardashel	Evolving social contact patterns during the COVID-19 crisis in Luxembourg	2020-08-06		.txt	text/plain	2976	153	52	While the number of social contacts was substantially lower during the lockdown by more than 80% compared to the pre-pandemic period, we observed a more recent 121% increase during the post lockdown period showing an increased potential for COVID-19 spread. We repeatedly conducted an internet survey to follow up the impact of the local government interventions on social contact patterns in Luxembourg shortly after the lockdown was implemented due to the rapid local spread of the COVID-19. The average number of contacts reported by Luxembourg residents in a study before the pandemic was 17.5 [4] , suggesting that contacts during lockdown had decreased by 81.7%. Our study suggests that the strict physical distancing measures implemented in Luxembourg had a substantial and immediate impact on social mixing patterns resulting in a large reduction of the average number of contacts per day. In conclusion, our stud shows that physical distance measures resulted in significant reduction in social contacts and therefore decreased the spread of COVID-19 in Luxembourg.	./cache/cord-295293-ickp2n47.txt	./txt/cord-295293-ickp2n47.txt
