We develop a new transmission model of COVID-19 in the presence of waning immunity with isolation and vaccination in humans. The spreading of the disease is determined by the basic reproduction number (ℜ0). Based on mathematical analysis, we found that the non-endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when ℜ0 < 1 whereas the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when ℜ0 > 1. A numerical simulation is used to show the population dynamics. In conclusion, isolation, and vaccination (once it is available) are regarded as effective strategies for eliminating viruses, or at least to suppress the spread of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
