The impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia: Simulation approach.

Objectives: This paper aims to measure the impact of the implemented nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during the pandemic using simulation modeling.

Methods: To measure the impact of NPI, a hybrid agent-based and system dynamics simulation model was built and validated. Data were collected prospectively on a weekly basis.
