Table 4 Parameter values used in the AB simulation model

β _h

0.47/day (for R ₀ = 1.8); 0.39/day (for R ₀ = 1.5)

\( {\beta}_p^j \)

0.94/day for schools and 0.47/day for workplaces (for R ₀ = 1.8); 0.78/day for schools and 0.39/day for workplaces (for R ₀ = 1.5)

β _c

0.075/day (for R ₀ = 1.8); 0.06/day (for R ₀ = 1.5);

κ(t − τ _k )

lognormal distribution with: δ = − 0.72 and γ = 1.8

\( {\psi}_p^j\left(t-{\tau}_k\right) \)

0.2 (for schools) and 0.5 (for workplaces) only when the elapsed time since the onset of infection is greater than the latent period 0.25 days; the value of \( {\psi}_p^j \) is 0 otherwise

f(d _i , k)

\( \frac{1}{{\left[1+\frac{d_i,k}{a}\right]}^b}, \)Z with a = 35 km and b = 6.5

ζ(a _i )

ζ(a _i ) = 100% if age ∈[20 − 65], 75% if age ∈[15 − 20] and [65 − 70], 50% if age ∈[10 − 15] and [70 − 75], 25% if age ∈[5 − 10] and [75 − 85], 0% if age ∈[0 − 5]
