摘 要:This paper presents a comprehensive agent-based model for the spread of an infection in a network of *** mobility is defined between each two cities and can take different *** work examines the role that such mobility levels play in containing the infection with various vaccination coverage and age *** results indicate that mobility reduction is sufficient to control the disease under all circumstances and full lockdowns are not a *** has to be reduced to different ratios depending on the vaccination level and age distribution.A key finding is that increasing vaccination coverage above a certain level does not affect the mobility suppression level required to control the infection anymore for the cases of young population and heterogeneous age *** investigating several migration and commuting patterns,it is found that shutting mobility in a few local places is favored against reducing mobility over the entire country *** addition,commuting-and not migration-influences the spread level of the *** work offers an exclusive combined network-based and agent-based model that makes use of randomly generated mobility matrices.
