Abstract
Presently the world is passing through a critical phase due to the prevalence of the Novel Corona virus, 2019nCoV or COVID-19, which has been declared a pandemic by WHO. The virus transmits via droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Due to the absence of vaccine, to prevent the disease, social distancing and proper quarantine of infected populations are needed. Non-resident citizens coming from several countries need to be quarantined for 14 days prior to their entrance. The same is to be applied for inter-state movements within a country. The purpose of this article is to propose mathematical models, based on quarantine with no lock down, that describe the dynamics of transmission and spread of the disease thereby proposing an effective preventive measure in the absence of vaccine.
