Abstract

The fear associated with an infectious disease plays a major role in the management of the infectious disease. Thus, this study tried to assess the impact of fear of infection on the spread of COVID-19 using a mathematical modelling approach. The model considered was shown to have two equilibria points, namely, the COVID-19 free equilibrium (CFE) and the COVID-19 persistent ) was used to validate the local equilibrium (CPE). The computed reproduction number (
