COVID19 Outbreak Simulator

COVID-19 Outbreak Simulator is a population-based simulator that simulates the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in a dynamic and heterogeneous population, subject to preventative measures and post-outbreak action plans such as quarantine, testing, and removal of symptomatic cases. Outputs from the simulator can be used to obtain quantitative measures of the effectiveness of these actions.
