[27] extended the SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-removed) compartment model to study the dynamics of COVID-19 incorporating public perception of risk and the number of cumulative cases. Here, we developed 70 a new epidemiological mathematical model for novel coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in India that extends the standard SEIR compartment model, alike to that studied by Tang et al. We develop here a classical SEIR (susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered)-type epidemiological model 75 by introducing contact tracing and other interventions such as quarantine, lockdown, social distancing and isolation that can represent the overall dynamics of novel coronavirus or COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). The square of sum of 185 the error computed as Σ n i=1 (C(i) − S(i)) 2 , where C(i) represents the observed daily new COVID-19 cases on i-th day, S(i) is the SARII q S q model simulation on i-th day and n is the sample size of the observed data. ./cache/cord-280975-9hgtvm6d.txt ./txt/cord-280975-9hgtvm6d.txt
