a, Projected prevalence and hospital occupancy. b, Economic configuration across 63 sectors. GDP over six months is £854 bn. Scenario B optimizes GDP via successive opening and closing of 63 sectors every two months, over a six-month intervention period, subject to epidemiological and economic constraints. Any economic sector except for education may close to 80% of observed minimum levels. Education is constrained to stay operational at or above 80% of pre-pandemic production levels. In b, the optimal economic configuration targets several sectors for partial closure (Supplementary Table 2).
