A New Mathematical Model of COVID-19 with Quarantine and Vaccination
Abstract
A mathematical model revealing the transmission mechanism of COVID-19 is produced and theoretically examined, which has helped us address the disease dynamics and treatment measures, such as vaccination for susceptible patients. The mathematical model containing the whole population was partitioned into six different compartments, represented by the SVEIQR model. Important properties of the model, such as the nonnegativity of solutions and their boundedness, are established. Furthermore, we calculated the basic reproduction number, which is an important parameter in infection models. The disease-free equilibrium solution of the model was determined to be locally and globally asymptotically stable. When the basic reproduction number R0 is less than one, the disease-free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable. To discover the approximative solution to the model, a general numerical approach based on the Haar collocation technique was developed. Using some real data, the sensitivity analysis of R0 was shown. We simulated the approximate results for various values of the quarantine and vaccination populations using Matlab to show the transmission dynamics of the Coronavirus-19 disease through graphs. The validation of the results by the Simulink software and numerical methods shows that our model and adopted methodology are appropriate and accurate and could be used for further predictions for COVID-19.
