Impact of domestic travel restrictions on transmission of COVID-19 infection using public transportation network approach

Abstract The international spread of COVID-19 infection has attracted global attention, but the impact of local or domestic travel restriction on public transportation network remains unclear. Passenger volume data for the domestic public transportation network in Japan and the time at which the fir...
