This study presents methods of hygiene and the use of masks to control the disease. The zero basic reproduction number can be achieved by taking the necessary precautionary measures that prevent the transmission of infection, especially from uninfected virus carriers. The existence of time delay in implementing the quarantine strategy and the threshold values of the time delay that keeping the stability of the system are established. Also, it is found that keeping the infected people quarantined immediately is very important in combating and controlling the spread of the disease. Also, for special cases of the system parameters, the time delay can not affect the asymptotic behavior of the disease. Finally, numerical simulations have been illustrated to validate the theoretical analysis of the proposed model.
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.
