Abstract
Based on the analysis of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic in China, a SEIR epidemic model was established with the diagnosed population divided into 2 categories: the admitted population and the non-admitted population. Through theoretical analysis, the basic reproduction number, the disease-free equilibrium of the model and its stability were derived. Further, several numerical simulations and comparative analysis were conducted on the development trend of the epidemic situation in Wuhan before and after the city closure, as well as the influences of some important parameters in the model on the number of diagnosed cases. Finally, according to the results of above theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, some control strategies previously adopted were analyzed and evaluated, and predictions were made for the development of the epidemic.
