Table 1.

Model parameters estimated by Bayesian inference based on daily deaths until 1 February 2021 (with reduced models). Model selection based on maximum log-likelihood (LL) and Akaike information criterion (AIC). Best fitting models have lower AIC scores (bold). Infection fatality ratio, ϕ=0.9%. Herd immunity threshold (H) calculated from R0 and CV using formulas (14) or (22), as appropriate. T0 and T2 parameterise linear reduction and increase in transmissibility, respectively, before and after first lockdown (larger T lower slope; Fig. 2).
