    Document: The 2020 corona virus (COVID- 19) pandemic has raised the need for mitigation efforts that could reduce the peak of the epidemic 1, 2 . To fulfill this need, theoretical modelling can play a crucial role. Traditional epidemiology models that assume universal or constant infection parameters are not sufficient to address case specific strategies like contact tracing. Therefore, we have developed an agent-based epidemiological model which takes into account that disease transmission happens in distinct arenas of social life that each have different role under lockdown: The family, the workplace, our social circles, and the public sphere. This subdivision becomes especially important when discussing such efforts as contact tracing. Using an estimated weight of social contacts within each of these four spheres 3 we discuss the effect of various mitigation strategies.
