Description
Summary:COVID-19 is an infectious disease that targets human respiratory tracts caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections. This disease has spread all over the world, therefore it has become a pandemic and forming a periodic pattern. To minimalize the spread of COVID-19, intervetions such as face mask using, social distancing, washing hands, and vaccinations are applied. In this study, we will see the effects of interventions on periodicity cases of COVID-19 using mathematical modelling. The data used was retrieved from South Africa’s COVID-19 website. The mathematical model being used in this study is using SEIRS model with modifying transmission rate from constant into a periodic function to observe COVID-19 periodicity cases. Based on the simulation results, social distancing and face mask using interventions affected the spread of COVID-19. Interventions that give the biggest impact are when both social distancing and face mask using are applied simultaneously.
