Network model and analysis of the spread of Covid-19 with social distancing

Applied Network Science

Table 2 Table of parameters specific to the disease and the nature of its spread

Parameter	Value
Initial number of infections	5
Symptomatic-to-essential transmission	0.05
Symptomatic-to-population transmission	0.005
Asymptomatic-to-all transmission	0.05
Ratio of symptomatic cases	20%
Probability of mortality	5%
Probability of immunity	85%
Mean of recovery period	17 days
Mean time to death	14 days

These parameters reflect an intuitive estimation at the time of model construction with the intention to study general trends. The values of these parameters can be changed in the code (see “Methods” section)
