Effects of school reopening along with community reopening. Post-intervention R₀ as a function of baseline R₀ under various conditions are shown. Dashed black line: Baseline, represents all contact patterns pre-pandemic. Solid black line: Mixed reopening model, simulates the effect of re-incorporating full contact patterns for children 0–9 years with reduction in contacts in children 10–19 years to 33% of baseline. Starting from this condition, blue lines represent the effects of restoration of contact frequency in the rest of the community (i.e. community reopening) to 20% of baseline (dotted blue line), 30% of baseline (dashed blue line), 40% of baseline (interrupted blue line), or 60% of baseline (solid blue line)
