“…Since the outbreak of coronavirus, several mathematical models are proposed in various ways to control or reduce the risk of disease transmission worldwide. These includes the use integer and fractional modeling frameworks for different countries incorporating non-pharmaceutical interventions/vaccine [8] , environmental factors [9] , [10] , dead compartments [11] , Omicron variants [8] , [12] , [13] , [14] , social distancing [15] , optimal control [16] , [17] , super spreaders [18] . In particular, authors in [15] used an integer order model to quantify the effect of social distancing on the transmission dynamics of the coronavirus spread in South Africa.…”
