Abstract
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China in the end of 2019, it causing an outbreak of viral pneumonia. It caused to the death rate of 4.63% among 571, 678 confirmed cases around the world to the March 28th, 2020. In this brief currentstudy, we will present a simple mathematical model where we show how the probability of successfully getting infected when coming into contact with an infected individual and the per-capita contact rate affect the healthy and infected population with time. The proposed model is used to offer predictions about the behavior of COVID-19 for a shorter period of time.
