New Delhi: Domestic travel bans to control Covid-19 transmission are likely to “counterintuitively” increase cases, especially in countries with a large migrant population, a new US study has found.
According to the study, conducted by researchers from the University of Chicago, domestic travel bans could increase cases if the duration of the restrictions is not very short or very long but is of moderate length.
“Although very short and long restrictions limit the spread of disease, moderately lengthy restrictions substantially increase infections. This suggests significant caution before imposing mobility restrictions in developing countries,” the study said.
