Pyfectious: An individual-level simulator to discover optimal containment policies for epidemic diseases
Fig 14
a) This graph shows the effect of control policies that target specific sectors of society. Each curve corresponds to shutting down a different place. Group A includes all workplaces of any size. Group B consists of gyms, restaurants, and cinemas. Group C includes more public places such as malls and public transportation. b) This graph shows the effectiveness of quarantining specific roles (subcommunities) in society. The curves show the spread of the infection when different ratios of workers of any kind are quarantined. The effect is expectedly significant because the workers spend so much time in their workplaces every day, and many individuals often visit a workplace during working hours, which makes it a suitable place for spreading the infection.
