Episimmer documentation

Episimmer is an Epidemic Simulation Platform that aims to provide Decision and Recommendation Support to help answer your questions related to policies and restrictions during an epidemic. Using simulation techniques widely applied to other fields, we can help schools and colleges discover and hone the opportunities and optimizations they could make to their COVID-19 strategy.

From the most simple decisions (Which days to be online or offline) to more complex strategies (What restrictions should I put on library use?, How many times should I test?, Whom do I test?) Episimmer is the tool for the job.
