Highlights Epidemic curves created by using an agent-based model are presented. The network of interactions, and thus the possibility of infection, is modeled with the scale-free Barabasi-Albert model. Modifications based on whether these interactions belong to a particular group are proposed. A simple model of passing an infection via a direct interaction is proposed. The influence of the network creation method, division into different numbers of groups and different times of intervention is presented. The results are shown for two cases: the well-known influenza virus and the recently reported COVID-19.
