Legend: Base Case = no interventions applied; Low and high impact refers to two scenarios of 4 non-pharmaceutical interventions (mitigation strategies) (mask wearing, cleaning + disinfection, hand hygiene, social distancing), combined to provide 13.6% and 36% net effectiveness, respectively (Table 2); S1, S2 and S3 refer to three contact tracing scenarios, which provide 12.8%, 32.6% and 45.6% effective reduction in transmission. For each combination of mitigation strategy scenario and contact tracing scenario, an estimate of net effectiveness is calculated by summing the two estimates (e.g., low impact mitigation strategy scenario of 13.6% + contact tracing scenario S3 of 45.6% = net effectiveness of 59.2%, see Table 2)
