Table 2.

Parameters used in simulation experiments.

Parameter Value in experiments Description
CTA users 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 % population over age 14 using CTA
Testing capacity 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 3, 6, unlimited Maximum % of population that can be tested per week (reflective of UK policy announcements of 200,000 tests per day, corresponding to 2% of the population per week)
Compliance of CTA users Low compliance: Ω=0.5 High compliance: Ω=0.9 Probability to self-isolate for CTA user without testing decreases by Ω: probability to self-isolate = ωiΩ
Testing policy a) Priority to symptomatic agents b) No priority a) Each day symptomatic agents are tested, only then CTA users b) Agents are tested on basis of first come first tested
Initial conditions 7% recovered from the virus; 300 (0.3%) agents infected Reflects UK estimates ahead of lifting lockdown
