The role of children in the spread of COVID-19: Using household data from Bnei Brak, Israel, to estimate the relative susceptibility and infectivity of children

Fig 7

Model fit to observations for households of different sizes.

Best model fit to the PCR testing data in the Bnei Brak data set, aggregated according to the household size (fit to households of size greater than or equal to 10 are not shown due to their small sample size). The histograms show the distribution of the total number of infected individuals (children+adults) in households of different sizes, together with the corresponding distributions as predicted by the model with the fitted parameters. While the fitting was done to the number of infected children and adults separately, as described in the text, the figure shows the summary results in order to allow a visual examination of the goodness-of-fit.
