Household-contact-tracing is a model which aims to produce estimates of the effectiveness of contact tracing for the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. As household structure is particularly important for the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic, we have paid particular attention to the interactions between contact tracing and the household structure. For example, if one person in a household tests positive it is reasonable to expect that all other members of the household immediately take up isolation. For other recent contacts of a case, they will be contact traced following a random delay. A tutorial notebook in notebooks > tutorial.ipynb has been created which provides examples of how to calibrate the model and to perform simulations. We have provided the code required to reproduce the results in our paper on household contact tracing.
