New study reveals the locations most likely to spread COVID-19

Restaurants, gyms, hotels and houses of worship are among the 10 percent of locations that would appear to account for 80 percent of the infections, according to research published in the journal Nature on Tuesday.

These are places that are smaller, more crowded, and people dwell there longer, said study co-author and Stanford University Professor Jure Leskovec at a media briefing on the research, CNN reported.

Reducing the establishments capacity to 20 percent, as opposed to shutting them down entirely, could curb transmissions by 80 percent, the prof said.

Our work highlights that it doesn t have to be all or nothing, Leskovec said.
