Modeling and dynamic analysis of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) in China

Abstract

Although novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) was widely spread in mainland China in early 2020, it was soon controlled. To study the impact of government interventions on the spread of disease during epidemics, a differential equation system is established to simulate the process of virus propagation in this paper. We first analyze its basic properties, basic reproduction number R 0 and existence of equilibria. Then we prove that the disease-free equilibrium (DFE) is Globally Asymptotically Stable when R 0 is less than 1. Through the analysis of the daily epidemic data from January 10, 2020 to March 11, 2020, combined with the implementation of the national epidemic policy, we divide the whole process into three stages: the first stage (natural state), the second stage (isolation state), the third stage (isolation, detection and treatment). By using the weighted nonlinear least square method to fit the data of three stages, the parameters are obtained, and three basic reproduction numbers are calculated, which are: R 01 = 2.6735, R 02 = 0.85077, R 03 = 0.18249. Sensitivity analysis of threshold parameters and corresponding graphical results were also performed to examine the relative importance of various model parameters to the spread and prevalence of COVID-19. Finally, we simulate the trend of three stages and verify the theory of Global Asymptotic Stability of DFE. The conclusion of this paper proves theoretically that the Chinese government's epidemic prevention measures are effective in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. This study can not only provide a reference for research methods to simulate COVID-19 transmission in other countries or regions, but also provide recommendations on COVID-19 prevention measures for them.

Impact of vaccination against COVID-19 on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization–embryo transfer: a retrospective cohort study

“…None of the participants in our research who have accepted ART treatment had ever been exposed to the coronavirus since the COVID-19 pandemic in China was successfully contained in the second quarter of 2020. [ 11 ] The risk of infection and reproductive health damage caused by emergent panic psychology were negligible in this study. It is important to note that vaccination deserves to be encouraged because it does not worsen the outcome of ART.…”

Mathematical modeling and optimal control of SARS-CoV-2 and tuberculosis co-infection: a case study of Indonesia

“…From the first two equation of ( 3 ), we have All the remaining seven equations can be written similar to the second equation above, and since the transfer rates are non-negative at the boundary of the positive cone , the direction of the vector field will point inward Guo and Li ( 2021 ). That is, the trajectory of all solutions remains in the positively invariant region when starting from a non-negative point.…”
