Outcome Target
No. epidemics*/1,070 simulations Fewer than unmitigated base cases
Infection rate <0.1 of population (n = 1,000)
Peak illness rate <0.01 of population (n = 100)
Average no. cycles required <2.0
Average days home per adult Fewer than continuation strategies
Average no. days strategies imposed Fewer than continuation strategies

*An epidemic is defined in the model as a simulation with a clinical illness rate >1% of the population.
