SIR models show transmission-reducing NPIs are more effective than contact-reducing ones at minimizing epidemic size when reproductive number effects are equal, and that minimizing the infection peak requires earlier NPI start than minimizing total epidemic size.
The network model allowed us to distinguish between two main types of NPIs

Analysis of non pharmaceutical interventions with SIR epidemic models: decreasing the infection peak vs. minimizing the epidemic size
SIR models show transmission-reducing NPIs are more effective than contact-reducing ones at minimizing epidemic size when reproductive number effects are equal, and that minimizing the infection peak requires earlier NPI start than minimizing total epidemic size.
