Mathematical Modeling and Control of Covid‐19

In this paper, the author proposes and studies a mathematical model for the spread of coronavirus 2019. The effect of preventive programs on the control of disease is also considered. The basic reproduction number was computed and the results showed that forward bifurcation occured. Local and global stability of the equilibrium points of the model was studied by geometric stability method and Lyapunov function. Finally, the particular data of China which was reported for Covid‐19 were used for numerical simulation.
