Containment of COVID-19: Simulating the impact of different policies and testing capacities for contact tracing, testing, and isolation.

Efficient contact tracing and testing are fundamental tools to contain the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. We used multi-agent simulations to estimate the daily testing capacity required to find and isolate a number of infected agents sufficient to break the chain of transmission of SARS-CoV-2, so decre...
