“…In the numerical simulation, we used an SEIQR compartmental model as in [13], in which the susceptible, exposed (asymptomatic infectious), infectious, quarantined and recovered populations are considered. As in [13], we assumed that, for COVID-19, the average incubation period is 5 days [14], the average infectious period is 10 days [15], the average quarantine period is 14 days and the reproduction numbers for asymptomatic and symptomatic infections are 0.44 R and 0.56 R, respectively [16], where R denotes the reproduction number. To estimate R in Okinawa, we applied the least-squares method as in [17] under the assumption that the identification rate is 0.1 to the data of number of daily reported cases of COVID-19 in Okinawa from October 1 to November 30, 2020.…”
