Simulate intra-hospital transmission

Understanding and modeling the transmission of the virus within healthcare settings is likely to be important in predicting the course of the epidemic. Patients admitted for non-Covid19 symptoms may face an increase risk in becoming infected. Parameters such as the availability of PPE could influence the reproduction rate within hospitals.

We agree, and it would be possible to use the place structure in the simulation to represent hospitals (though some code changes would be needed). But it's quite a big task to gather the required data. We hope to get to it eventually, but hard to give a timeframe right now.
