Description: COVID-ABS: an agent-based model of COVID-19 epidemic to simulate health and economic effects of social distancing interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has directly impacted the public health and economy worldwide. To overcome this problem, countries have adopted different policies and non-pharmaceutical interventions for controlling the spread of the virus. This paper proposes the COVID-ABS, a new SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) agent-based model that aims to simulate the pandemic dynamics using a society of agents emulating people, business and government. Seven different scenarios of social distancing interventions were analyzed, with varying epidemiological and economic effects: (1) do nothing, (2) lockdown, (3) conditional lockdown, (4) vertical isolation, (5) partial isolation, (6) use of face masks, and (7) use of face masks together with 50 Homepage: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960077920304859 Source Code: https://github.com/petroniocandido/COVID19_AgentBasedSimulation Keywords: COVID-19; agent-based simulation; epidemic models; SEIR Related Software: Covasim; fpp2; usmap; GNAR; rapidminer; ggplot2; CRAN; AlexNet; ImageNet; Scikit; SciPy; GitHub Cited in: 8 Publications all top 5 Cited by 22 Authors 1 Aparicio, Juan Pablo 1 Behring, Brandon M. 1 Đorđević, Jasmina 1 Jäger, Georg 1 Konané, Fourtoua Victorien 1 Li, Ning 1 Lu, Tuantuan 1 Papić, Ivan 1 Porfiri, Maurizio 1 Reisinger, Daniel 1 Rizzo, Alessandro 1 Simoy, Mario Ignacio 1 Šuvak, Nenad 1 Traoré, Ali 1 Urrutia, Patrick 1 Vogiatzis, Chrysafis 1 Wren, David O. 1 Wu, Peng 1 Yoshida, Ruriko 1 Yuan, Yiran 1 Zhao, Yongxiang 1 Zhu, Pengfei all top 5 Cited in 8 Serials 1 Physica A 1 Chaos, Solitons and Fractals 1 Computational and Applied Mathematics 1 Chaos 1 Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems 1 Advances in Difference Equations 1 Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment 1 SN Operations Research Forum all top 5 Cited in 8 Fields 5 Biology and other natural sciences (92-XX) 2 Ordinary differential equations (34-XX) 2 Statistical mechanics, structure of matter (82-XX) 2 Operations research, mathematical programming (90-XX) 1 Dynamical systems and ergodic theory (37-XX) 1 Probability theory and stochastic processes (60-XX) 1 Computer science (68-XX) 1 Game theory, economics, finance, and other social and behavioral sciences (91-XX) Citations by Year
