Abstract

In the present study, we introduce a simple stochastic differential equation based on the Susceptible-Infectious (SI) model to simulate the progression of COVID-19. For a detailed study, a cumulative number of individuals infected with COVID-19 in Norway from 26 Feb 2020 to 09 March 2023 is utilized. The Euler-Maruyama (EM) method is used to solve the problem. Computer codes are developed in Matlab for the solution process.
