We study the impact of two containment strategies for Bengaluru: soft ward containment (i.e., linearly-varying mobility control that turns an open ward into a locked ward when the number of hospitalised cases become 0.1% of the wards population; in the latter locked scenario, only 25% mobility is allowed for essential services, see Figure 4 ) and neighbourhood containment (i.e., when an individual is hospitalised, everyone living in a 100m surrounding area undergoes home quarantine).	./cache/cord-200185-oz2x9a9s.txt	./txt/cord-200185-oz2x9a9s.txt
