  • Values of Embedded Image, Embedded Image, Embedded Image, Embedded Image and Embedded Image considered in the interventions (see online supplemental materials for their derivations). Embedded Image number of contacts per day of each isolated individual with carers. Embedded Image Total number of isolated cases. Embedded Image Number of tents available for self-isolation. Embedded Image Number of isolated cases of class j. Embedded Image= Heaviside function. Embedded Image maximum number of contacts that individuals in the green zone can have with individuals from the orange zone per day (Embedded Image). Under a ‘lockdown’ of the green zone where visits are reduced by 50% (Embedded Image), and where visits are reduced by 90% (Embedded Image). Embedded Image fraction of the population in the orange (green) zone capable of coming in contact with individuals from the green (orange) zone. Embedded Image if class i is in the green zone and is proportional to Embedded Image if in the orange zone. Embedded Image and Embedded Image generically refer to the total population in either the green (Embedded Image) or the orange (Embedded Image) zones.

  • *The parameters are set to 0 if health checks to access to the buffer zone are implemented in the intervention and set to 1 otherwise.
