Symbol Meaning
β ≥ 0 human-to-human transmission rate per unit time (day)
≥ 0 relative transmissibility of hospitalized patients
a ≥ 0 relative transmissibility of asymptomatic infected
κ ≥ 0 rate at which an individual leaves the exposed class by becoming infectious (symptomatic or asymptomatic)
ρ ≥ 0 proportion of progression from exposed class E to symptomatic infected class I
γa ≥ 0 rate at which symptomatic individuals are hospitalized
γI ≥ 0 recovery rate without being hospitalized
γr ≥ 0 recovery rate of hospitalized patients
μ ≥ 0 rate of asymptomatic infectious that no longer transmit, becoming either recovered or deceased
δA ≥ 0 proportion of progression from asymptomatic class A to deceased class D
δH ≥ 0 death rate of hospitalized patients
δI ≥ 0 death rate of infected patients
