Represent state variables of COVID-19 model equation (

| S | Population of susceptible individuals |
| E | Population of individuals exposed to COVID-19 | | Population of infectious asymptomatic individuals (manifest no symptoms) | | Population of infectious symptomatic individuals with mild symptoms (non-critical symptoms) | | Population of infectious symptomatic individuals with severe symptoms (critically ill) | | Population of infectious asymptomatic individuals isolated from the general population via contact tracing | H | Population of infectious individuals hospitalized due to COVID-19 | | Population of recovered (tested negative) individuals with strong post COVID-19 protective immunity (protected against reinfection) | | Population of recovered individuals with weak or no COVID-19 protective immunity (partially protected against reinfection if exposed to COVID-19) |
