Description

The SIR model's widespread use in the study of infectious diseases is due to its simplicity. In this work, we study a compartment model from [1] for COVID-19 pandemic. We study the model using numerical methods such as Runge-Kutta methods. The model is simulated using MATLAB's built-in differential equations solvers ode23 and ode45. We also vary parameters to see the effect on the populations S, I and R.
