Table 2. SPQEIR model parameters.

Fixed parameters	Mitigation parameters
β = (average contact rate in the population) = 0.85 d−1	μ = (rate of active protection) [d−1]
α = (mean incubation period)−1 = 0.2 d−1	ρ = (social distancing tuning)
γ = (mean infectious period)−1 = 0.34 d−1	χ = (active removal rate) [d−1]
R0 = 2.5	η = (rate of contagious isolation)[d−1]

SPQEIR model parameters with their standard values for the COVID-19 pandemic from literature [37, 42]. Here “d” denotes days.
