Table 1
Some parameters used for calculations of an EHF outbreak dynamics.
| Resources of the model city |
| Population | 500000 | Number of medics/paramedics involved in AEA | 1000 | Number of teams searching for and isolating infected cases and contacts | 30 | Number of patients/contacts detected by one team per day | 20 | Reserve of drugs (for one treatment course) | 1000 | Bed capacity for strict isolation | 100 | Bed capacity in provisional hospitals | 800 | Bed capacity in quarantine departments for contacts | 300 |
| Parameters controlling activation of countermeasures (AEA) |
| AEA1 is activated | ā | (i) At a calculated critical time moment (days of epidemic) or | 20 | (ii) When the number of infected persons in the final stage reaches a critical value | 30 | Delay in activation of AEA2 relative to AEA1 (days) | 5 | Delay in activation of AEA3 relative to AEA2 (days) | 5 | Activation of quarantine after AEA2 (days) | 5 | Intensity of quarantine (%) | 50 | Number of days without detection of any infected persons to cancel quarantine | 15 | Control of resource depletion | On | Resource limitations in AEA3 | Canceled |
