Research direction

Search the repository for beta_school and beta_workplace, then read the model code where transmission fractions are allocated. Check the associated tests to understand the current equality constraint and identify the expected update path. Done means the model can represent school and workplace transmission fractions independently without breaking existing allocation behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently the model forces beta_school to equal beta_workplace when allocating transmission fractions. We may want to loosen this assumption later.
