     This report illustrates the marked alteration of red blood cell (RBC) morphology that occurs with COVID-19 infection. Of particular importance is the observation that RBC morphology is dramatically affected whether cells are suspended in plasma from healthy vs COVID-infected blood. The claims of the manuscript are well supported by the data, and the approaches used are thoughtful and rigorous. The results are important for consideration of the broader pathophysiology of COVID-19, particularly with regard to the impact on vascular biology.

     This is a valuable contribution to the SARS-CoV-2 modelling literature that will be of interest to infectious disease modellers studying the impact of spatially heterogeneous interventions for transmission control. The calibration and analysis of the proposed model is sound and and the results provide convincing evidence that supports the claim that localised interventions could potentially reduce societal impact while maintaining outbreak control. However, the paper provides little insight into what drives the regional diffusion in the Netherlands and how that diffusion could be affected by local lockdowns and a more thorough exploration of the model is warranted. There is also an opportunity to consider behavioural consequences, feasibility, and potential ethical implications of the proposed approach in greater depth.
