Abstract
A mathematical model for forecasting the transmission of the COVID-19 outbreak is proposed to investigate the effects of quarantined and hospitalized individuals. We analyze the proposed model by considering the existence and the positivity of the solution. Then, the basic reproduction number (R0)—the expected number of secondary cases produced by a single infection in a completely susceptible population—is computed by using the next-generation matrix to carry out the stability of disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if R0<1, and the endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if R0>1. Numerical simulations of the proposed model are illustrated. The sensitivity of the model parameters is considered in order to control the spread by intervention strategies. Numerical results confirm that the model is suitable for the outbreak that occurred in Thailand.
