Abstract
As is well known the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a zoonotic virus and our model is concerned with the effect of the zoonotic source of the coronavirus during the outbreak in China. We present a SEIS complex network epidemic model for the novel coronavirus. Our model is presented in fractional form and with varying population. The steady states and the basic reproductive number are calculated. We also present some numerical examples and the sensitivity analysis of the basic reproductive number for the parameters.

The corona virus family continues to clone new strains that threaten human life
This new strain is considered among the zoonotic viruses that are transmitted from animal to human and transmitted from human to human [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Summary
The world is witnessing these days the emergence of a new strain of corona virus in the Chinese city of Wuhan. This novel corona virus strain (COVID-19) is the seventh of the corona family, which includes, for example, influenza, SARS, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). The spread of COVID19 from a person infected with the virus to a healthy person needs close communication with the infected person where there will be an effect of cough and sneezing droplets. We present a heterogeneous network epidemic model for COVID-19 in a fractional form [8,9,10] using the Caputo definition.
