Characteristics of considered scenarios and simulation results

For all scenarios, all educational levels are closed on March 5 and reopened on September 14, and national lockdown initiates on March 11. For scenarios reopening schools after lockdown, the natural summer break is assumed between June 10 and September 14 for all educational levels except kindergartens, which are assumed to be closed between August 1 and September 14. Median and 95% CI are reported for the cumulative number of patients admitted to a hospital or ICU before September 30, and the hospital and ICU bed occupancy on September 30. Purple represents observed values, pink is the scenario representing actual interventions, and different shades of blue differ by the date of lifting of lockdown.

^*K, kindergartens; P, primary; S, secondary; H, high schools. Reopening is assumed on the same day the lockdown is lifted.
