Impact of Governmental interventions on epidemic progression and workplace activity during the COVID-19 outbreak

Abstract In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a state of paralysis. During this period, humanity saw by far the largest organized travel restrictions and unprecedented efforts and global coordination to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Using large scale...
