The present analysis uses the distributions of the cluster size and patients' time from onset to diagnosis, which are released by the health officials, to estimate the model parameters. At the same time, the nodes in the connected component containing the diagnosed node are also removed from the network, which corresponds to the contact tracing of the infected individuals (Fig 2, gray open circles) . In this paper, we have formulated a model to describe the spreading of infection and the quarantine of infected individuals, and estimated the number of undiagnosed symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients in Hokkaido. ./cache/cord-301811-ykpiorgo.txt ./txt/cord-301811-ykpiorgo.txt
