For each intervention policy and diagnostic approach, we ran the model 50 times, with each iteration simulating the spread of the influenza virus for 60 days. We assumed that a global pandemic is underway, and the city is already in the mitigation phase of its pandemic response strategy, whereby the aim is to reduce the total number of people affected and maximize care for those infected. We examined the efficiency of the various testkits in mitigating the outbreak within the city when positive cases have already appeared.
