Executive Summary :

The aim is to understand what policies can be implemented post-lockdown. Small world models are useful tools in Network Epidemiology. Modelling such cities as a Multi-Lattice Small World (MLSW) network where each ward of a city is modelled as a 2D lattice and nearby wards are connected together. Simulate several interventions on MLSW and study their effectiveness in suppressing COVID-19 on such networks.
