    Snippet: Baseline scenario 208 For assessing the effectiveness of contact tracing and isolation, we use a best case scenario, 209 where all parameters are set to optimistic values. We assume that when a case is diagnosed, 210 he/she will immediately be isolated and this will stop onward transmission completely. 211 Furthermore, we assume that all contacts will be traced, and if found infected will be 212 isolated immediately. We assume that it takes 1 day.....
    Document: Baseline scenario 208 For assessing the effectiveness of contact tracing and isolation, we use a best case scenario, 209 where all parameters are set to optimistic values. We assume that when a case is diagnosed, 210 he/she will immediately be isolated and this will stop onward transmission completely. 211 Furthermore, we assume that all contacts will be traced, and if found infected will be 212 isolated immediately. We assume that it takes 1 day to find and isolate both household and 213 non-household contacts. The rationale for using these overly optimistic assumptions as a 214 baseline is that we want to investigate the maximum contribution contact tracing can 215 provide for achieving containment. In sensitivity analyses we investigated for various control 216 parameters at which point of diverging from the baseline parameters control of the 217 outbreak will be lost (Supplementary Information).
