Mounting evidence suggests the vast majority of COVID-19 cases may be spread by as little as 10 per cent or less of those infected | liammannix

The data suggests that if we can find those so-called super-spreaders, we may be able to control the infection much more efficiently.A single hospitality worker who worked at multiple social venues was linked to one of Melbourne’s first major clusters.from April shows just five clusters made up about 28 per cent of the state’s then total case load.scientists in the state have seen. The man infected at least 34 people after visiting the Crossroads Hotel in Sydney’s south-west.

"This virus moves in clusters," said Professor Catherine Bennett, Deakin University’s chair of epidemiology. “When you look at the spread, it seems to be really driven by a few events where a lot of people are infected. It’s infectious, but it’s infectious in an unusual way."In South Korea, 89 per cent of people with MERS did not spread the virus; and two people with SARS were responsible for more than 400 infections in Hong Kong.

Super-spreader events are a combination of biology and opportunity: highly infectious people, probably with no symptoms, at the wrong place at the wrong time.
