Side-by-side comparisons of age-specific contact matrices in Greece before the coronavirus disease pandemic (January 2020; left) and during lockdown (April 2020; right). A) All contacts; B) contacts at home; C) contacts at work; and D) contacts during leisure activities. Each cell represents the average daily number of reported contacts, stratified by the age group of the participants and their corresponding contacts. In panel A, the diagonal of the contact matrix corresponds to contacts between persons in the same age group, the bottom left corner of the matrix corresponds to contacts between school-age children, and the central part corresponds to contacts mainly in the work environment.
