OpenABM-Covid19 - an agent-based model for non-pharmaceutical interventions against COVID-19 including contact tracing	2020-09-22		.txt	text/plain	5363	283	45	The ABM was developed to simulate different non-pharmaceutical interventions including lockdown, physical distancing, self-isolation on symptoms, testing and contact tracing. A previous study of social contacts for infectious disease modelling, based on participants being asked to recall their interactions over the past day, has estimated the mean number of interactions that individuals have by age group [12] . We present OpenABM-Covid19, a COVID-19-specific agent-based model suitable for simulating the epidemic in different settings and assessing non-pharmaceutical interventions, including contact tracing using a mobile phone app. Further, on developing symptoms or during interventions such as contact tracing, the interaction pattern of individuals change to only include those in the household. One of the key aims of OpenABM-Covid19 was to model non-pharmaceutical interventions and, in particular, different forms of contact tracing. OpenABM-Covid19 is a versatile tool to model the COVID-19 epidemic in different settings and simulate different non-pharmaceutical interventions including contact tracing.	./cache/cord-318079-jvx1rh7g.txt	./txt/cord-318079-jvx1rh7g.txt
