Description
Summary:Abstract As is well known the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a zoonotic virus and our model is concerned with the effect of the zoonotic source of the coronavirus during the outbreak in China. We present a SEIS complex network epidemic model for the novel coronavirus. Our model is presented in fractional form and with varying population. The steady states and the basic reproductive number are calculated. We also present some numerical examples and the sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number for the parameters.
