Simulations of Scenario II-i: Locally-supervised disease awareness.

Panels (a.1)-(d.1) compare , where the reference is the biased random walk model without awareness in Section 2.4. Disease control is achieved if the whole community takes response in a collaborative way. When the increment of public awareness increases from 1 to 3 to 10 to 20, the agent mobility is restrained. As a result, the disease peaks are flattened and an evident suppressed peak of the first wave is observed.
