Summary of policy scenarios and resulting health and economic outcomes.

Metrics in parentheses are relative to the no intervention scenario. Each policy starts 20 days after the first infection (infection prevalence ∼2.5%) and continues for 4 months before being relaxed. Total daily cost per capita includes both lost wages due to the disease (compared to a disease-free scenario with 75% working) and the cost of any subsidy payments provided. A detailed breakdown of costs, stratified by wage loss and subsidy payment, is in Table D in S1 Text. Each subsidy payment amount was benchmarked against the average wage (AW) in the population ($180 per day). All the values are calculated over the policy implementation period (day 20 to day 140).
