Simulation Rules

The simulation follows some simple rules:

1. the population consists of 3 types of persons:

   • infected (red)
   • well (never infected) (green)
   • recovered (infected in the past) (yellow)

2. Each agent has an age and based on that a probability of infection is assigned to him/her

3. An infected agent spreads the virus to his/her neighbours (in relation with the above probability of infection).

4. A recovered agent can never be infected again

5. An infected agent recovers after a number of days
