Abstract
In this paper, we formulate a deterministic mathematical model SEAIRB to
study the dynamics behavior of COVID-19 pandemic. The model incorporates
the impact of two strategies, health education and public sanitation, on
the spread of the epidemic. Firstly, by using Routh-Hurwitz criteria,
the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the
basic reproduction number does not exceed 1. Further, by using the
comparison theorem, the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free
equilibrium is obtained. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to
verify the theoretical analysis and analyze the impact of different
control strategies on the spread of the epidemic.
