Abstrakt:	A study conducted by researchers at Beijing University of Technology evaluated the risk of transmission of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in subway systems and the effectiveness of different interventions based on real travel behaviors in Beijing. The study analyzed data from smartcard swipes for subway rides before and during the pandemic and found that the number of passengers in close contact decreased during the pandemic. Passengers faced a higher risk of infection during rush hours, and peak-shifting travel could reduce infection risk. The study concluded that transmission of the Omicron variant could be controlled within subway systems if over 67.5% of passengers wore N95 respirators. [Extracted from the article]
