Dynamics of COVID-19 Transmission: Compartmental-based Mathematical Modeling

Amna Ishtiaq

ABSTRACT

The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov2) demands scientists all over the world to make their possible contributions in whatever way possible to control this disease. In such health emergency, mathematical epidemiologists are playing a pivotal role by constructing different mathematical and statistical models for predicting different future scenario and their impact on different intervention strategies to policy makers and health legislators. Compartmental-based models (CBM), are a type of transmission dynamic framework, which are one of the most studied models during this pandemic. This communication highlights the role CBM models play for the understanding of COVID-19 transmission dynamics.

Key Words: COVID-19, Compartmental-Based Models, Emerging Infectious Disease, Transmission Dynamics.
