Sumario:The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) culminated in a pandemic with many countries affected in varying stages. We aimed to develop a simulation environment for COVID-19 spread, taking environmental and social factors into account. This program consists of three main components; a stochastic process-based model for simulating epidemics, a basic reproduction number estimation unit and a graphics generator. The model can take a variety of environmental factors as input and simulate expected behaviours of the infection spread, enabling policymakers and the scientific community to test the effects of different mitigation strategies in a sandbox.
