Para entender como algunos paises tienen la epidema controlada y otros no, es importante conocer como se transmite el virus. Un aspecto destacable de la propagación del covid, es que parece centrarse en unos pocos individuos, llamados superspreaders o supercontagiadores. La compresión de este fenomeno es importante, ya que permite otimizar las medidas de prevención más adecuadas, optimizar el rastreo de los casos y mejorar las estrategias de test.
