COVID-19 Submodel for the NC MInD ABM Overview, Design Concepts, and Details Protocol

Abstract: This Overview, Design Concepts, and Details (ODD) Protocol is an ODD extension to an agent-based model (ABM) framework built for the North Carolina Modeling Infectious Diseases Program (NC MInD). The model, NC MInD ABM, can be used as a base model for various infectious disease simulations. In this document, we describe a submodel specifically designed to simulate COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations within North Carolina. We describe in detail how each piece of the submodel works and how it was created. We do not discuss specific simulation scenarios or results. This information is reserved for papers related to each use case of the submodel.
