Article Synopsis
- Coronaviruses cause various diseases in humans and animals, leading to a pandemic that has significant medical, economic, and political impacts, mainly transmitted through physical contact.
- A dynamical transmission model was developed using stability analysis to study COVID-19's progression, incorporating data from 14 countries, with simulations focusing on the USA, Italy, South Africa, and Nigeria.
- Results showed that while the COVID-19 free equilibrium point is locally stable, controlling the pandemic requires a combination of measures like vaccination, physical distancing, mask-wearing, and hand hygiene.
The low spread of the global pandemic in Africa has raised concerns. Consequently, many commentators have misconstrued concerns suspecting weather, and immunity to be prime reasons. This study investigates the factors associated with the high and low spread of the SARS-CoV-2 (also known as COVID-19) and employs graphical Bayesian models to investigate feature interactions and causality.
