R code to model the social contacts of citizens was developed by Dave Hodgson with assistance from Dave Hudson and Matthew Silk.
The stochastic implementation of the epidemiological model was adapted Lofgren et al. (2020)* with help from Nina Fefferman (University of Tennessee).
Hosting for the app is provided by the University of Exeter.
