Abstract

The novel coronavirus which emerged at the end of the year 2019 has made a huge impact on the population in all parts of the world. The causes of the outbreak of this deadliest virus in human beings are not yet known to the full extent. In this paper, an investigation is carried out for a new convergent solution of the time-fractional coronavirus model and a reliable homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM) is used to explore the possible solution. In the presented model, the Atangana-Baleanu derivative in the Liouville-Caputo sense is used. The variations of the susceptible, the exposed, the infected, the quarantined susceptible (isolated and exposed), the hospitalized and the recovered population with time are presented through figures and are further discussed. The effects of selected parameters on the population with the time are also shown through figures. The convergence of solution by the HPTM is shown through tables. The results reveal that the HPTM is efficient, systematic, very effective, and easy to use in getting a solution to this new time-fractional mathematical model of coronavirus disease.
