Fig. 5: Connected component distributions.

The distribution of component sizes of the binary outbreak networks generated for school reopening scenarios and R values of 1.1–1.5 (indicated by colour). By households, i.e. the number of households in a component size in each bin, panels a–f show reopening scenarios 1–6, respectively, and panel g shows the network with all school years in attendance. By school, i.e. the number of schools in a component size in each bin, panels h–m show reopening scenarios 1–6, respectively, and panel n shows the network with all school years in attendance. The bars show the median and error bars show 90% credible intervals for 1000 realisations of binary outbreak networks.
