Epicity – Model M
Model M is an agent-based epidemic model for COVID-19 computational experiments on realistic multi-graph social
networks. It allows to simulate projections of main epidemic indicators with respect to various interventions. These
include lockdowns, closures of different contact layers (leisure, schools, etc.), social distancing, testing and
quarantine, contact tracing, and vaccination.
