Age-specific model parameter estimates in Ontario, Canada: Percentage of symptomatic individuals diagnosed, and susceptibility to infection

Parameter Age class
0–5 6–13 14–17 18–24 25–64 65+
Percentage of symptomatic individuals diagnosed 31% 38% 37% 20% 64% 67%
Susceptibility to infection 1.9% 1.6% 2.5% 9.2% 13.9% 50.2%

Percentage of symptomatic diagnosed individuals and susceptibility (i.e., probability of infection upon contact, βi). The reported values are obtained from the mean of the fitting results of 1000 bootstrap realizations. The fraction of symptomatic diagnosed individuals is calculated from δI,iδI,i+γI, where δI,i and γI denote the diagnosis and recovery rate, respectively.
