558-
- The combination of school closure and mask mandate can delay the epidemic peak, but will not reduce it size.
559-
- Vaccination can sustain a reduced epidemic peak compared with mask mandate alone.
589+
+ Overlapping School closure and Vaccinations can have an earlier peak of infectious across age groups by 100 days aprox., and reduce the total number of new infections in the whole population by 75,000 aprox.
590+
+ Overlapping Mask mandate and School closure can delay the peak of infectious across age groups by 300 days aprox., and reduce the total number of new infections in the whole population by 10,000 aprox.
591+
+ Overlapping Mask mandate and Vaccination will not change the time of peak of infectious across age groups, but reduce the total number of new infections in the whole population by 70,000 aprox.
592+
593+
### Additional challenge
594+
595+
1. **What sequence of interventions would you propose to delay the peak and reduce the impact of the epidemic?**
596+
Experiment by independently adjusting the start time and duration of each intervention. Implement them either sequentially or with overlapping periods, and observe their effects on the epidemic dynamics in Zimbabwe. This can support a response plan that allows time for risk assessment and efficient resource allocation.
