Again, this approach would depend on the adherence of the population to the confinement policies, and taking into account the rogue individuals that bypass the confinement measures, it is important to accurately characterize the infection curves and the prediction of short-term new cases of the disease, since they can be responsible of a dramatic spread. We established four different scenarios: for the first one we considered a theoretical situation where we imposed that around the 70% of the population will adopt social distancing measures, but leave the other 30% in a situation where they either have an opinion against the policies or they have to move around interacting with the rest of the network for any reason (this means, ̅ = 0.3 for all the nodes). ./cache/cord-198449-cru40qp4.txt ./txt/cord-198449-cru40qp4.txt
