    The vaccination and drug treatment play important roles in mitigating strategies when influenza outbreaks [1]. However, these strategies might lose effectiveness in the case when a novel influenza virus emerges, as new vaccines and drugs will take a lot of time to be explored. During the H1N1 outbreaks occurred in 2009, non-pharmaceutical strategies were adopted, such as school closures, social distancing or facemasks. Several studies illustrated that facemasks could be a useful non-pharmaceutical strategy. For example, it is shown in [2] that if N95 respirators are 20% effective in reducing susceptibility and infectivity, 10% of the population would have to wear them to reduce the number of influenza A (H1N1) cases by 20%. The study on wearing facemasks in [3] had showed a reduction of 10-50% in transmission of influenza. Furthermore, experiments [2,4] drew a conclusion that N95 respirators are more efficient to control transmission of influenza than surgical masks.

    Mathematical models have been used to analyze the effectiveness of facemasks in reducing the spread of novel influenza A (H1N1) [2,5,6]. The model in [2] is a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model. Because a large proportion of infections might be asymptomatic [7], the asymptomatic infections are significant in influenza transmission dynamics [8]. Therefore, in this paper, the asymptomatic class is introduced to the SEIR model. An improved model (SEIAR) is proposed to analyze the influence of wearing masks on the final size and the basic reproduction number of H1N1. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the initial time of wearing facemasks, which compartment wears facemasks and the proportion of asymptomatic individuals will be discussed.

    Two sub-populations (or sub-groups) are considered: one does not wear facemasks and one does (indicated by a subscript M). Susceptible (S, SM), exposed (E, EM), infectious (I, IM), asymptomatic (A, AM), and recovered (R), For influenza H1N1, there is some infectivity during the exposed period [2,6]. This may be modeled by assuming infectivity reduced by a fraction α during the exposed period. The infectious of exposed individuals are less than that of symptomatic individuals [2,6]. These model parameters are also listed in Table 1, and a transition diagram is shown in Figure 1. Let β denote the transmission rate of individuals in the I class, α and δ denote the reduction in infection rate of individuals in the E and A classes, respectively, ω is the rate at which individuals leave the exposed class, of which p and 1p proportions will enter the A(AM) and I(IM) classes, respectively, γ and γ denote the recovery rate of infectious and asymptomatic individuals, respectively. The parameters φSM, φEM, φIM and φAM are the transition rates from S, E, I and A to SM, EM, IM and AM, respectively; similarly, the parameters φS, φE, φI and φA are the transition rates from SM, EM, IM and AM to S, E, I and A, respectively, as shown in Figure 1.

    Figure 1.  Flow diagram of the SEIAR compartmental model.

    The forces of infection for susceptible individuals without or with facemasks, denoted by λ and λM, respectively,

    λ=β(I+αE+δAN+(1ηi)IM+αEM+δAMN),λM=(1ηs)λ,

    where N:=S+SM+E+EM+I+IM+A+AM+R is the total population, 1ηi and 1-ηs represent the reductions in infectivity and susceptibility, respectively, due to wearing facemasks, respectively.

    The model consists of the following nonlinear differential equations:

    dSMdt=(φS+λM)SM+φSMS,dEMdt=φEEMωEM+φEME+λMSM,dIMdt=(γ+φI)IM+(1p)ωEM+φIMI,dAMdt=(γ+φA)AM+φAMA+pωEM,dSdt=(λ+φSM)S+φSSM,dEdt=φEMEωE+φEEM+λS,dIdt=(γ+φIM)I+(1p)ωE+φIIM,dAdt=(γ+φAM)A+pωE+φAAM,dRdt=γ(I+IM)+γ(A+AM). (1.1)

    The individuals switch rates between the two groups who wear or do not wear facemasks are assumed to be the following step-functions:

    φi={a,i=SM,EM,IM,AM,b,i=S,E,I,A,

    where the parameters a and b are positive constants. In this study, a is set to be 0.1, 0.25 or 0.5, and b is set to be 0.1 [2].

    In this section, the basic and control reproduction numbers (R0 and Rc, respectively) are calculated, which can be used to evaluate disease control strategies. The effect of wearing masks on reduction in final epidemic size is evaluated.

    In the absence of mask wearing, that is to say, in the early stage of infection, the basic reproduction number R0 is as follow:

    R0=β(αω+1pγ+pδγ). (2.1)

    R0 includes three terms representing contributions from infected individuals in the E, I, and A classes. Each term is a product of the transmission rate per unit of time (β), relative infectiousness (α, 1, δ), and the average period of infection (1/ω, 1/γ, 1/γ), weighted by the proportions p and 1p, respectively, for the A and I stages.

    For the derivation of Rc, we use the approach of the next generation generation matrix [13]. Let ˆηi=1ηi, ˆηs=1ηs, σ=S0+S0M,

    F=βσ(αS0αˆηiS0S0ˆηiS0δS0ˆηiδS0αˆηsS0MαˆηiˆηsS0MˆηsS0MˆηiˆηsS0MδˆηsS0MδˆηiˆηsS0M000000000000000000000000),

    and

    V=(r1φE0000φEMr20000(p1)ω0r3φI000(p1)ωφIMr400pω000r5φA0pω00φAMr6),

    where

    r1=φEM+ω,r2=φE+ω,r3=γ+φIM,r4=γ+φI,r5=γ+φAM,r6=γ+φA.

    Then the control reproduction number Rc is the largest eigenvalue of matrix FV1 [13] and can be written as:

    Rc=βS0σ(A+B+C)+βS0M(1ηs)σ(D+E+F),

    where

    A=αr2+(1ηi)φEMω(φE+φEM+ω),B=(1p)ωr2r4+φIφEM+(1ηi)r2φIM+(1ηi)r3φEMω(φE+φEM+ω)γ(φI+φIM+γ),C=δpωr2r6+φAφEM+(1ηi)r2φAM+(1ηi)r5φEMω(φE+φEM+ω)γ(φA+φAM+γ),D=α(1ηs)φE+(1ηi)(1ηs)r1ω(φE+φEM+ω),E=(1p)ω(1ηs)r1φI+(1ηs)r4φE+(1ηi)(1ηs)(r1r3+φEφIM)ω(φE+φEM+ω)γ(φI+φIM+γ),F=δpωr1φA+r6φE+(1ηi)(1ηs)(r1r5+φEφAM)ω(φE+φEM+ω)γ(φA+φAM+γ).

    It is difficult to explain the biological meaning of Rc since the flow chart is bidirectional. In order to explain Rc, we simplify the model under the assumption that the individuals of group M can not transfer the other group, that is φS,E,I,A=0. Then, we obtain

    Rc=βS0σ(K1+K2+K3)+βS0M(1ηs)σ(KM1+KM2)

    where

    K1=αr1,K2=φEMr1α(1ηi)r2+(1p)ωr11r3+pωr1δr5,K3=(1ηi)φEMr1(1p)ωr21r4+(1p)ωr1φIMr31ηir4+(1ηi)φEMr1+δpωr21r4+pωr1(1ηi)φAMr51r6,KM1=α(1ηi)(1ηs)r2,KM2=(1ηs)(1p)ωr2(1ηi)r4+(1ηs)pωr2δ(1ηi)r6.

    The control reproduction number Rc includes six terms representing contributions from infected individuals in the E, I, A, EM, IM and AM classes. The average duration of E is 1/r1, transmission rate is αβ, then the βS0K1/σ represents one infected individual introduced to the susceptible population without facemasks in the E class. The ratio from E to EM is φEM/r1, the average duration of EM is 1/r2, transmission rate is α(1ηi)β. Similarly, βS0K2/σ represents one infected individual introduced to the susceptible population without facemasks from E to EM, I and A. In this way, the control reproduction number Rc can be explained by the biological meaning.

    Based on the best available data, the parameter values shown in Table 1 have been chosen. The incubation period for H1N1 in 2009 is about 2-10 days, hence we use 1/ω to be 6 days [9]. The mean periods of symptomatic and asymptomatic infections are 5.2 and 4.1 days, respectively [1,9,12,14], thus γ=1/5.20.1923 and γ=1/4.10.2439. The proportion of asymptomatic individuals is p=0.46 [10]. The infectivity of asymptomatic individuals is assumed to be about half that of symptomatic [1,11,12], that is, δ=0.5. And α=0.5 from [2,6]. With these parameter values, we can get R0=1.83 [2], and from equation (2.1) we can obtain β=0.271. The total population size N for the model is set at one million people. For initial conditions, we choose N=106, I=104. The time of wearing facemasks is focused on, for example, the first day, the sixth day and the eleventh day. Becaus the effectiveness of facemasks in reducing the susceptibility and infectivity of infected person is greater [4,15], other parameters ηs=0.2 and ηi=0.5.

    Numerical simulations of model (1.1) show that, in the absence of facemasks wearing, the cumulative number of infections will be 73%. To demonstrate the effect of the asymptomatic class in the model, we carry out numerical simulations of model (1.1) as 10%, 25% and 50% of the population wear them under various levels of effectiveness of masks in reducing susceptibility and infectivity. The final size is defined as the proportion of the cumulative number of infected cases [5]. The results are illustrated in Figure 2.

    Figure 2.  The final size for wearing N95 facemasks on the sixth day.

    From Figure 2 and Table 2, it can be seen that the final size is 73% without any intervention. The more effective masks are and the more masks are worn, the more quickly final size will be decreased. In detail, when the proportion of people wearing facemasks is 10%, 25%, and 50%, ηs=ηi=0.2, the final size of H1N1 will be reduced by 17%, 28%, and 35%, respectively. Wearing masks can effectively decrease the final size. These results are also listed in Table 2 and Figure 2, which is similar to Figure 3 but includes various level of reduction in susceptibility due to the use of masks.

    In addition to using the final size reduction as a measure to compare scenarios, we can also examine the effect of facemasks wearing on the reduction in the control reproduction number Rc. The results are listed in Table 3. For example, when facemasks are 20% effective in reducing both susceptibility and infectivity and the wearing masks people is 10%, Rc can be reduced from 1.83 to 1.52.

    The epidemic is sensitivity to the time of wearing facemasks. The result is shown in Figure 4. that the sooner masks are worn, the more the reduction in the final size will be. With facemasks on the first day, the sixth day and the eleventh day as an example. Without any intervention, there will be 73% for the final size. With wearing masks on the first day, the final size will be nearly reduced by 70%.

    Figure 4.  Sensitivity to the time of wearing masks (with the 50% population wear masks and ηs=ηi=0.5).

    The model is sensitive to which compartment wears facemasks. There is no significant reduction of the final size if only infected individuals wear facemasks. It is important for susceptible, exposed, symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals to wear facemasks and there is a 70% reduction in the final size from Figure 5.

    Figure 5.  Sensitivity to who wears masks (with the 50% population wear masks and ηs=ηi=0.5).

    The sensitivity of parameter p is studied for the SEIAR model. The epidemic is sensitive to the proportion of asymptomatic individuals as seen in Figure 6. There is a obvious difference between the final size when p changes from 0 to 0.7. Asymptomatic individuals can not be neglected in the study of influenza H1N1.

    Figure 6.  Sensitivity to the population of asymptomatic individuals.

    In this paper, the influence of N95 respirators on reducing the spread of H1N1 in 2009 is analyzed. Compared with the model of [2], we add an asymptomatic compartment and quantify the influence of the wear of facemasks during an epidemic. Because of the high infectivity and the general susceptibility of the population, without any measures, the basic reproduction number R0=1.83 and the final size will be 73%. The final sizes of H1N1 are compared when population wearing facemasks are 10%, 25% and 50%. When ηS=ηi=0.5 and 50% of population wears facemasks on the sixth day, the basic reproduction number will be decreased from 1.83 to 1.17 (Table 3) and the final size will be reduced from 73% to 2.7% (Figures 2-3 and Table 2).

    Among the exposed individuals of influenza H1N1, the proportion of people with p became asymptomatic individuals. We assume that p changes from 0 to 0.7 and other parameters are fixed, the final size will be decreased from 84% to 65% (Figure 6). Therefore, asymptomatic individuals are extremely important and can not be ignored. For the time of wearing masks, there is an obvious difference among wearing facemasks on the first day, the sixth day and the eleventh day. The final size will be reduced to 2%, 2.7% and 3.8% with wearing facemasks on the first day, the sixth day and the eleventh day (Figure 4). Wearing facemasks can effectively reduce the final size. And in a short time, the Centers for Disease Control can reduce the spread of the influenza to take measures such as vaccination and drug treatment. When influenza outbreaks occur, it is almost ineffective to wear facemasks only for infected individuals. In order to effectively reduce infection, all people need to wear facemasks (Figure 5).

    Facemask is an effective tool and can be used for counties with limited vaccines. The model is improved to evaluate the effectiveness of facemasks during pandemic influenza.
