Impacts of social distancing on the spread of infectious diseases with asymptomatic infection: A mathematical model

作者：

Highlights：

• A two-layer network is constructed to model the simultaneous impacts of spontaneous and public social distancing.

• Social distancing can increase the epidemic threshold.

• Spontaneous social distancing will not affect the epidemic threshold when infection sources are undetected.

• Public social distancing should be more exerted in the subnetworks of higher infection risk.
