  1. The table shows the total attack rate (i.e., proportion of population that has ever been infected), the peak prevalence day and value in the non-Holiday scenarios, with several combinations of values for l (duration of the traveling/mass traveling period) and p (the proportion of the population traveling/gathering) when the initial R0 equals to 1.8. The resulting R0 values (after adding the traveling/mass gathering period) are obtained from the baseline scenarios (without traveling/gathering) to match the peak prevalence and the total attack rate showed in this table. The standard deviation is 0.08-0.15% for the peak prevalence and is 0.07-0.18% for the total attack rate.
