Parameters of the SIR Model for the First and Second Waves of COVID-19 in Moscow

Abstract
The susceptible–infected–removed (SIR) model, which is a compartmental mathematical model of epidemic outbreak, is considered in the form of the recently proposed one-parameter model. For the particular case of Moscow, the parameters of the model are found that describe the first and second waves of the COVID-19 epidemic. We have analyzed the parameter δ = β/(αN) that determines the behavior of the reduced SIR model dimensionless compartment variables and which is equal to the peak proportion of the infected persons. The results show that both waves can be fitted with the SIR model with satisfactory accuracy. The parameter δ, as well as the infected-to-removed transition rate β, can be asserted equal for the two waves. On the contrary, the susceptible-to-infected transition rate α and the size N of the population potentially exposed to the infection proved to have changed in the second peak compared to the first one. Thus, the parameter δ can be used as an unambiguous and robust characteristic of the dynamics of the outbreak in a particular region.
