Table 2 Description of parameters used in our model
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
k | Seasonality parameter for \(s_k(t):=1+k\sin \left( \pi \left( \frac{t}{182.5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \right)\); cf. [14] |
\(\rho ^{(0)}\) | Baseline transmission risk |
\(\rho\) | Transmission risk with seasonality effects: \(\rho =s_k(t)\rho ^{(0)}\) |
\({\xi _C}\) | Proportion of carrier individuals not isolated |
\({\xi _I}\) | Proportion of infected individuals not isolated |
\(T_E^C\) | Period of latent non-infectious stage |
\(\mu _C^R\) | Proportion of mild, asymptomatic cases |
\(T_C^R\) | Period of asymptomatic stage before recovery |
\(T_C^I\) | Period of latent infectious stage |
\(\mu _I^H\) | Proportion of symptomatic cases needing hospitalization |
\(T_I^H\) | Period of mild symptoms for individuals requiring hospitalization later on |
\(T_I^R\) | Period of mild symptoms for individuals not requiring hospitalization later on |
\(\mu _H^U\) | Proportion of hospitalized individuals getting ICU treatment |
\(T_H^U\) | Period of hospitalization before ICU treatment (of critical cases) |
\(T_H^R\) | Period of hospitalization before recovery (of non-critical cases) |
\(\mu _U^D\) | proportion of individuals in ICU care that die |
\(T_U^R\) | Period of ICU treatment before recovery |
\(T_U^D\) | Period of ICU treatment before death |
