Highlights• India’s first wave of COVID-19 in 2020 showed wide variation in the number of secondary infections per index case. • This variation arises from variation both in the number of contacts per index case, and the risk of infection per contact. • Transmission models capturing these factors separately can yield different dynamics to conventional approaches. • Understanding these variations can help design more efficient approaches for contact tracing, for use in outbreak response.
