Variables used in equations.
| Variable | Parameter |
| S | Susceptible |
| E | Exposed |
| I | Infected |
| R | Recovered |
| β | Probability of disease transmission per contact times the number of contacts per unit time |
| δ | Rate of progression from exposed to infectious or inverse of the incubation period |
| γ | Rate of progression from infected to recovered or the inverse of the generation time |
| N | Total population (S + E + I + R) |
