Abstract

In this paper, we present a deterministic $SEQIR$ mathematical model that describes the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 that also includes testing procedures in the quarantine stage. The reproduction number $R_0$ is derived with some properties of the model. The stability of equilibrium points is analyzed. An objective function is proposed and optimal control strategies are derived using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The existence and uniqueness of an optimality system are demonstrated. Numerical simulations are presented in different scenarios with the control interventions early screening, prevention measures of COVID-19, and following a healthy lifestyle. The main objective of the paper is to eradicate the disease in exposed stage. The chosen control variables helps us to reduce the exposed population.
