Parameters used in the model

Parameter	Meaning	Value	Source	Notes on calculation from data source
β	Transmission rate	$1.12\times \frac{3.47}{3.47+3.69}{\text{days}}^{-1}=0.543{\text{days}}^{-1}$	Li et al. [29]	Calculalated by weighting the transmission rate by the latency and infectious periods
γ	Disease recovery or resolution rate	$\frac{1}{\left(3.69+3.47\right)\text{days}}=\frac{1}{7.16\text{days}}$	Li et al. [29]	Summing up the latency and infectious period
q	Fraction of infected individuals who are symptomatic (or with more severe disease)	0.15	Li et al. [29]	about 86% were undocumented infected
f	Fatality rate for individuals with severe/symptomatic disease	0.02	–	Nominal value for illustrative purposes
