Role of reinfection in transmission dynamics of COVID-19: a semi-analytical approach using differential transform method / Opeyemi Odetunde, Jibril Lawal and Ally Yeketi Ayinla
Reinfection of a recovered individual either as a result of relapse or new contact no doubt poses a major threat to the eradication of an infection within the host community. In this work, the role of re-infection in the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 was considered and analysed using the semi-an...
