Model for prognostic of symptomatic, asymptomatic and hospitalized COVID-19 cases with correct demography evolution
The aim of this study is to propose a modified Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed (SEIR) model that describes the behaviour of symptomatic, asymptomatic and hospitalized patients of COVID-19 epidemic, including the effect of demographic variation of population. It is shown that considering a population growth proportional to the total population leads to solutions with a qualitative behaviour different from the behaviour obtained in many studies, where constant growth ratio is assumed. An exhaustive theoretical study is carried out and the basic reproduction number $R_0$ is computed from the model equations. It is proved that if $R_0<1$ then the disease-free manifold is globally asymptotically stable, that is, the epidemics remits. Global and local stability of the equilibrium points is also studied. Numerical simulations are used to show the agreement between numerical results and theoretical properties. The model is fitted to experimental data corresponding to the pandemic evolution in the Rep\'ublica de Cuba, showing a proper behaviour of infected cases which let us think that can provide a correct estimation of asymptomatic cases. In conclusion, the model seems to be an adequate tool for the study and control of infectious diseases in particular the COVID-19 disease transmission.

The role of regular asymptomatic testing in reducing the impact of a COVID-19 wave
Testing for infection with SARS-CoV-2 is an important intervention in reducing onwards transmission of COVID-19, particularly when combined with the isolation and contact-tracing of positive cases. Many countries with th…
Asymptomatic infectives and $R_0$ for COVID
We discuss how the presence of a large set of asymptomatic infectives changes our estimate of the COVID-19 basic reproduction number, also known as $R_0$.
How macroscopic laws describe complex dynamics: asymptomatic population and CoviD-19 spreading
Macroscopic growth laws, solutions of mean field equations, describe in an effective way an underlying complex dynamics. They are applied to study the spreading of infections, as in the case of CoviD-19, where the counti…
