Table 6.

Regression coefficients for the effect of contact reductions and contact tracing parameters on growth rates across models with and without household structure and with individual- and household-level contact tracing. We performed 100 simulations for each model, with 5000 starting infections and estimated the growth rates using days 10–25 of the simulation. There is no interpretation of the intercept because we do not simulate scenarios where there is no contact tracing.
