Abstract
In order to identify the temporal change in the possible risk of superspreading events (SSE), we estimated the overdispersion parameter in two different periods of COVID-19 pandemic. We identified the possible risk of SSE was reduced 90% during the second epidemic period in South Korea.Keywords
