A Mathematical Analysis of the COVID-19 SEIQRS Model Incorporating the Effect of Precautionary Measures

Abstract

This study considers the dynamics of an infectious disease through an epidemic SEIQRS model and also discusses the stability of both the endemic and disease-free equilibrium. The basic reproduction number is determined using the next generation method. The effects of quarantine (or isolation) strategies to control the spread of the disease will be examined. This study shows that the quarantine (or isolation) of susceptible, exposed and infected people can play an important role in preventing the further spread of the disease.
