Receiving type error at runtime about covasim

Hi @laurelboyd,

I'm not able to reproduce this error. Could you give a few more details? How did you install? (virtual environment? Did you use pip or from source?). Thanks!

Hi @khmoud75 -- the model uses advanced Python features so if this is your first time using Python, it may be quite challenging to get up to speed. We recommend that you first complete an online course for scientific computing in Python, e.g.:

Hi @khmoud75 -- please reinstall Covasim, I see you are using version 0.23.5 but the current version is 0.28.6. I suggest checking the documentation regularly for updates:
