Tóm tắt

In this paper, a latent infection susceptible–exposed–infectious–recovered model with demographic effects is used to understand the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemics. We calculate the basic reproduction number ( $${R}_{0}$$ ) by solving the differential equations of the model and also using next-generation matrix method. We also prove the global stability of the model using the Lyapunov method. We showed that when the $${R}_{0}<1$$ or $${R}_{0}\le 1$$ and $${R}_{0}>1$$ or $${R}_{0}\ge 1$$ the disease-free and endemic equilibria asymptotic stability exist theoretically. We provide numerical simulations to demonstrate the detrimental impact of the direct and latent infections for the COVID-19 pandemic.
