“…Since the emergence of the pandemic, several epidemiological (and clinical) investigations have been performed to examine the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2, ranging from the disease’s clinical characteristics [1] , [5] , estimation of reproduction number, exponential growth, patterns of the epidemic curve, and epidemic modeling [6] , [7] , [15] , [16] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] . Some studies have explored the COVID-19 serial interval [24] , [25] , [26] , while some used fractional modeling approach to analyze the transmission of COVID-19 infection [8] , [9] . Furthermore, heterogeneity and super-spreading event have also been investigated [27] , [28] .…”
