Modelling the leadership role of police in controlling COVID-19

Abstract

During the recent Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, different parts of the globe faced indefinite lockdowns. To maintain the lockdown measures, government authorities deployed security forces and police. The primary role of the police is to monitor the movement of the people and advise/guide them to follow the lockdown. In the current work, we propose a nonlinear mathematical model to study the role of police and security personnel in controlling COVID-19. It is observed that the proposed model possesses two equilibria, namely, trivial and non-trivial. We performed the stability analysis of the non-trivial equilibrium point by using the compound matrix technique. Finally, we perform a detailed numerical simulation to investigate the feasibility of the theoretical results. The current study demonstrates that police forces played a significant role in controlling the pandemic.
