Figure 5
Hospitalizations and controller level over time when a group of regional controllers are used to guarantee that pre-specified region-dependent hospitalization limits are not violated. Each of the 11 panels shows the evolution in a different LPHA region (see Fig. 4 for an illustration of the connectivity graph). Simulation are conducted with a state-wide vaccination rate of 20,000 vax/day, to a maximum vaccine update of 70%. Solid green lines illustrate the evolution of the hospitalized state, light purple lines show the pre-specified hospitalization limit. Heat maps illustrate the required level of NPIs \(u_i\), as determined by the controller.
