The main innovation of this research is investigating the impacts of various strategies of school and educational center closures, heeding social distancing, and office closures on controlling the COVID-19 outbreak in Urmia city, Iran. Besides, the transmission of COVID-19 between human agents was simulated based on the SEIRD model, and finally, all control strategies applied in Urmia city along with corresponding actions of each control strategy were implemented in the ABM. It should be noted that in order to transmit the COVID-19 indoors, people should be kept 297 at a distance of fewer than 2 meters for at least 15 minutes (Centers for Disease Control and 298 Prevention (CDC) 2019; World Health Organization (WHO) 2020); therefore, in this ABM, the time 299 interval was considered 15 minutes and the dimension of the cells was taken into account 2 meters.	./cache/cord-348588-s85sseqo.txt	./txt/cord-348588-s85sseqo.txt
