  • [Pre-print, not peer reviewed] Using an individual-based age-structured network model calibrated to a large city in Brazil (population: 300,000), Baumgartner et al. found that the model was more sensitive to interactions across different neighborhoods, suggesting that physical distancing at the city-level is more effective in controlling outbreaks and activities within the same neighborhood could only have minor contributions.
