Simulations of an outbreak with a community-level screening intervention.

Screening begins at the vertical dotted line, with a level of compliance indicated by label and color (green $0$ to blue $1.0$). A. Number of cases with or without symptoms. Note that, compared to the simulations in the main paper, 40\% compliance (0.4) is no longer sufficient to end this more virulent outbreak. B. Cumulative cases. C. For greater than 40\% compliance (0.4), $R_t$ decreases below one, corresponding to a rapid decrease in active cases. Despite this change, the overall results are robust as a compliance value of 0.6 is sufficient to end the outbreak.
