Cases had an overall median of 3 close contacts, and the median number of close contacts was largest for those aged 16-20. Implementation of travel reductions was associated with a 40% lower rate of contacts, and fewer genomically-linked cases were identified for index cases who traveled to countries for which there were travel restrictions compared to those for which there were none (RR = 0.17).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aggarwal et al.\u00a0(Mar 17, 2021).
