Table 2.

Model setting for different interventions.

Intervention Description in the model setting
Mask wearing A person was regarded as touching the outer surface of the mask if they touched their own nose and mouth.
Reduction on surface touch Randomly reduced the touches on public and private surfaces.
Changes in virus transfer rates between hands and surfaces The transfer rate of the virus between hands and surfaces during each touch (including mucous membranes).
Disinfection frequency of a specific surface The time for surface disinfection would be determined based on disinfection frequency. The virus on disinfected surfaces would be removed according to disinfection efficiency.
Disinfection efficiency 99.99% of virus was considered to be removed if a surface/hand is disinfected/sanitized (Pickering et al., 2010).
Disinfection of the surface made by the same material Disinfect all surfaces made by the same material in the restaurant.
