Includes events occurring during the 180-day horizon between simulated days May 1, 2020 and November 1, 2020. PCR tests, hospital bed-days, ICU bed-days, and self-isolation days are rounded to the nearest 100. In-text results describing percentages are calculated from unrounded results. Cumulative self-isolation days are estimated in addition to the PCR-severe-only strategy.
