We study the transition of an epidemic from growth phase to decay of the active infections in a population when lockdown measures are introduced to reduce the probability of disease transmission. While in the case of uniform lockdown a simple compartmental model would indicate instantaneous transition to decay of the epidemic, this is not the case when partially isolated active clusters remain with the potential to create a series of small outbreaks. We model this using a connected set of stocha...
