Table 1. Transition parameters used to calculate the transition rates in our epidemic model.

Transition Parameters	Value	References
Mean duration of the incubation period (1/α)	7 days	26, 27, 28
Mean time from the onset to the hospitalisation (1/γH)	5 days	29
Mean duration from onset to death (1/γD)	9.6 days	29
Mean time from onset to the end for the cured (1/γI)	10 days	28,30
Mean time from death to traditional burial (1/γF)	2 days	14
Proportion of cases hospitalised (θ)	50%	15
Fatality Ratio (δ)	50%	15
Mean time from hospitalization to end for cured (1/γI)	5 days	14
Mean time from hospitalization to dead (1/γHD)	4.6 days	14
