Welcome to the Corona Minister Simulation Game, designed by ScienceAtHome.
Before starting, please note that the underlying simulation is not intended as a scientifically supported public health model, or is it meant to make accurate predictions about the current COVID-19 epidemic.
Rather, the purpose of the Corona Minister game is to illustrate the difficult choices facing nations across the world, and to facilitate reflection on the trade-offs of any policy.

INTERVENTIONS:
ADVISORS SAY:
“Quarantining the population will hurt the economy, private and small business owners will likely have to shut down or go
bankrupt!”
“Closing the borders have very little effect once infected are already in the country. It might ease the public anxiety
though.”
“We should start a health information campaign. Teaching the people about hygiene and social distancing will help prevent
infection.”
You did it!
The toll on society was big, but you completed the mission.
