Figure 2

Figure 2. Number of ascertained coronavirus disease cases over 180 days (identified cases over time calculated by mathematical model) using varying infectious periods: A) 5 days; B) 6 days; C) 7 days; D) 8 days. We used parameter values of R0 = 3, γ = 1/5.02, σ = 1/5.16, and contact in adults reduced by 75%. Dotted lines indicate the beginning of the social distancing intervention at 50 days and end at 92 days.
