In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed and analysed to assess the impacts of health care providers in transmission dynamics of COVID-19. The stability theory of differential equations is used to examine a mathematical model. The results of both local and global stability of disease-free equilibrium points were determined by using Routh-Hurwitz criteria and Metzler matrix method which verified that was locally and globally asymptotically stable. Also, the endemic equilibrium point was determined by the Lyapunov function which showed that was globally asymptotically stable under strict conditions. The findings revealed that non-diagnosed and undetected health care providers seems to contribute to high spread of COVID-19 in a community. Also, it illustrates that an increase in the number of non-diagnostic testing rates of health care providers may result in high infection rates in the community and contaminations of hospitals' equipment. Therefore, the particular study recommend that there is a necessity of applying early diagnostic testing to curtail the COVID-19 transmission in the health care providers' community and reduce contaminations of hospital's equipment.
