An agent-based microsimulation model for COVID-19 dissemination in Medellín-Colombia
Appearance
Color mode
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) at December 31ths of 2019 in China it quickly spread to more than 200 countries around the word. Government on affected countries have taken actions such as social distancing in order to decrease the COVID-19 spreading rate. As a way to evaluate how effective are such actions, we design an agent-based microsimulation model that allows for representing the COVID-19 spreading in Medellín, Colombia. Accordingly, we reproduce the number of cases and deaths caused by the COVID-19 according to Medellín-real data by using the proposed model. Also, we test our model with two scenarios: first one with real government actions and second one without any government actions in Medellín-Colombia. Our model results show that early-public-health policies allows for flatting the curve of the COVID-19 spreading in contrast to the scenario without restrictions. As future work, we will include more clusters—e.g., leisure clusters, transport clusters—and the dynamic of the foreign COVID-19 cases.
