Here we apply mass action laws and chemical transition theory to propose a kinetic model that accounts for viral transmission dynamics at the latent phase. This model is useful for authorities to make early preventions and control measurements that stop the spread of a deadly new virus.15 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
