Resumen
We propose a compartmental mathematical model for the spread of the COVID-19 disease with special
focus on the transmissibility of super-spreaders individuals. We compute the basic reproduction number
threshold, we study the local stability of the disease free equilibrium in terms of the basic reproduction
number, and we investigate the sensitivity of the model with respect to the variation of each one of its
parameters. Numerical simulations show the suitability of the proposed COVID-19 model for the outbreak
that occurred in Wuhan, China.
