BACKGROUND: The article examines the history and statistics of the pandemic spread.
AIM: The study aimed to develop a mathematical model reflecting the time dependence of the parameters characterizing the spread of the pandemic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Differential equations were used to study the spread of the pandemic.
RESULTS: The case, where the coefficients of morbidity and recovery are different is considered. The patterns of change in the number of people susceptible to the disease and the number of infectious patients are revealed as a function of time. Using the developed model, the peak of the pandemic is found, i.e., the time at which the number of infectious patients will be the maximum.
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.
