Assessing the relative contributions of healthcare protocols for epidemic control: an example with network transmission model for COVID-19	2020-07-22		.txt	text/plain	5076	249	46	In this study, we used an individual-based age-structured network model to assess the effective roles of different healthcare protocols such as the use of personal protection equipment and social distancing at neighborand city-level scales. Our results revealed that the model was more sensitive to changes in the parameter representing the rate of contact among people from different neighborhoods, which defends the social distancing at the city-level as the most effective protocol for the control of the disease outbreak. By varying model parameters related to these protocols, we were able to discuss better scenarios considering the delay in the infection peak and lower numbers of cases, as well as activities with a low potential to boost the outbreak. Given the specified model structure, those results forecasting early wave peaks emerged under moderate to high probabilities of the individual-level exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus (high β), in combination with higher encountering rates among people (v and k) ( Figure 1 ; Table S1 ).	./cache/cord-274513-0biyfhab.txt	./txt/cord-274513-0biyfhab.txt
