1. PRELIMINARY
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Severe Acute
Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The most basic thing if someone is infected with the
virus is the onset of symptoms of cough, fever, or flu. Symptoms caused by people infected
with COVID-19 can be categorized into two categories, namely being infected with mild and
severe symptoms. Mild symptoms are characterized by general symptoms and can heal in
approximately one week. Meanwhile, those with severe symptoms will experience progressive
respiratory failure because the virus has entered, damaging the alveoli and will cause death [1].
Since the COVID-19 disease outbreak in the community, the government has taken several
ways to overcome the COVID-19, such as implementing social distancing to suppress the
spread of the virus and taking several precautions such as implementing health protocols and
quarantine for infected people. The purpose of quarantine is to restrict human and goods
movement, control and stop transmission, and recover public health to its original state [2]. In
some cases, people who are quarantined with mild symptoms can develop into severe
symptoms due to the presence of comorbidities in their bodies.
Mathematical models of infectious diseases are useful for understanding control
mechanisms to reduce infection and many researchers have studied COVID-19 disease. For
example, [3] focused on applying PPKM to restrict interactions between individuals and
quarantine infected people to reduce the number of sufferers during COVID-19. Besides that,
[4] and [5] modeling the transmission of COVID-19 disease to suppress the spread of the
disease and reduce the contact rate by implementing PSBB. In [6], focus on modeling the
spread of COVID-19 disease by wearing a health mask and quarantine. The simulation results
obtained the equilibrium point locally asymptotic stable if 𝑅0 < 1, which means, the disease
will disappear from the population after the 45th day. In [7] construct a mathematical model by
applying social distancing in Kota Makassar. If the government increases the application of
PSBB to a minimum of 34,23%, it will take approximately 70 days for infected people to finish.
The greater value of the parameter of PSBB is given, the faster the COVID-19 disease will
disappear. In [8] construct a mathematical model related to COVID-19 disease to determine
the effectiveness of convalescent plasma therapy without distinction among mild, severe, and
critical infected people. The result showed that the effect of giving convalescent plasma therapy
could reduce the spread of COVID-19 disease. By using 200 days intervals, there are many
patients recovered due to the availability of convalescent plasma stock.
Based on the description above, the author will examine the mathematical model by
referring journal developed by [7] and dividing the Reported population into two categories,
namely mild and severe symptoms, and adding optimal control variables for the application of
PSBB and therapy effect for the severe symptom population.
2. METHODS
2.1 Model Formulation
In this step, a mathematical model of the spread of COVID-19 disease will be developed
consisting of six compartments such as susceptible (S), carrier (C), mild symptom (P), severe
symptom (V), unreported symptom (U), and recover (R). in this model, individuals have the
probability of being infected with COVID-19 and there is no migration of individuals into and
out of the system.
Figure 1 shows the optimal control of the dynamics of the spread of COVID-19 disease
with PSBB and therapy effect strategies. Population 𝑆 has increased due to natural birth with a
birth rate transmission 𝜇𝑁. Asymptomatic individuals will move to 𝐶 and have an incubation
period of 0 – 14 days. If the virus is detected, it will move to the 𝑃, 𝑉, and 𝑈 populations.
Population 𝑃 decreased due to individuals who recover after quarantine 𝑞𝛼1 𝑃, natural death,
or due to COVID-19, and rate transmission individual with mild symptom developed onto
severe symptom 𝑉. 𝑉 decreased due to natural death or COVID-19 and individuals who
recover after therapy effect(1 − 𝑢2 )𝛼2 𝑉. Population 𝑅 decrease due to natural death and have
probability to re-infected. Based on the assumption and the interaction among compartments
in Figure 1, the model is given in the following system:
𝑑𝑆(𝑡) 𝑆
= 𝜇𝑁 + 𝛾𝑅(𝑡) − (1 − 𝜌1 )(1 − 𝑢1 )𝛽 (𝐶(𝑡) + 𝑈(𝑡)) − 𝜇𝑆(𝑡),
𝑑𝑡 𝑁
𝑑𝐶(𝑡) 𝑆
= (1 − 𝜌1 )(1 − 𝑢1 )𝛽 (𝐶(𝑡) + 𝑈(𝑡)) − (𝛿 + 𝜎 + 𝜇)𝐶(𝑡),
𝑑𝑡 𝑁
𝑑𝑃(𝑡)
= 𝛿1 𝐶(𝑡) − (𝑞𝛼1 + (1 − 𝑞)𝜔 + 𝜇 + 𝜀)𝑃(𝑡), (1)
𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑉(𝑡)
= 𝛿3 𝐶(𝑡) + 𝜀𝑃(𝑡) − ((1 − 𝑢2 )𝛼2 + 𝜔 + 𝜇)𝑉(𝑡),
𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑈(𝑡)
= 𝛿2 𝐶(𝑡) − (𝜔 + 𝜇)𝑈(𝑡),
𝑑𝑡
𝑑𝑅(𝑡)
= 𝜎𝐶(𝑡) + 𝑞𝛼1 𝑃(𝑡) + (1 − 𝑢2 )𝛼2 𝑉(𝑡) − (𝜇 + 𝛾)𝑅(𝑡),
𝑑𝑡
with initial condition 𝑆(0) = 𝑆0 > 0, 𝐶 (0) = 𝐶0 ≥ 0, 𝑃(0) = 𝑃0 ≥ 0, 𝑉(0) = 𝑉0 ≥
0, 𝑈(0) = 𝑈0 ≥ 0, 𝑅(0) = 𝑅0 ≥ 0. The parameters are described in Table 2.1.
The optimization problems can be solved using various optimization methods. one of
them is use the Forward-Backward sweep method. This method is an iterative method that will
be used to approximate the optimal solution 𝑢∗ using the initial guess given for at the beginning
of the iteration.in time interval [𝑡0 , 𝑡𝑓 ] is divided into several parts, namely 𝑡0 =
𝑏1 , 𝑏2 , … , 𝑏𝑁 , 𝑏𝑁+1 = 𝑡𝑓 and control 𝑢 = (𝑢1 , 𝑢2 , … , 𝑢𝑁+1 ), where 𝑢𝑖 ≈ 𝑢(𝑏𝑖 ). in
optimizing conditions, it gives a boundary value problem for 𝑥 and 𝜆 depands on 𝑢 and then
the Runge Kutta Order 4 method will be used to get the solution 𝑥(𝑡).

then we get optimal controls of 𝑢1∗ and 𝑢2∗ as follow

𝑢1∗ (𝑡) = min {max {0, } , 1} ,

5. NUMERICAL SOLUTION
To see the effect of control 𝑢1 and 𝑢2 , numerical solution made by using initial condition
𝑆0 = 750.000, 𝐶0 = 100.000, 𝑃0 = 62.200, 𝑉0 = 3.273, 𝑈0 = 130.952, dan 𝑅0 =
64.350 with the weight value of objective function that will be minimizied 𝐴1 = 𝐴2 =
𝐴3 = 𝐴4 = 1. Parameter value that will be used on Table 2.
Based on initial values and parameters above, the graph of numerical simulation results
is obtained as follows:

In the mild symptom population, shown in Figure 4, before being given control, it will
decrease and gradually stabilize since the 60th day. However, after being given control, it will
decrease and be stable since the 30th day. The control provided in the form of the application
of PSBB at the beginning of the observation can minimize the carrier population which results
in the low number of individuals being quarantined due to being infected with the COVID-19
disease.
In the severe symptom population, shown in Figure 5, before being given control, it will
increase on day 1 to day 7. The population decreased and stabilized on the 60th day.
Meanwhile, the control population increased on day 1 to day 4 and decreased and stabilized on
day 40. The increase in population on day 1 can be caused by the presence of infected
individuals with mild/moderate symptoms developing into severe/critical infections.
Meanwhile, the population decline occurred due to individuals recovering after being given
control in the form of PK therapy and natural deaths and deaths from COVID-19 accompanied
by comorbidities.

Figure 5. The Diagram of Control Function
The PSBB control curve (𝑢1 ) shows the maximum value on day 1 until the end of the
observation because under these conditions the number of populations susceptible to
infection is still very high, so maximum control must be given in the form of PSBB. The
maximum application of PSBB until the end of the observation must be carried out with full
consideration. If done optimally, the government could be stuck with a sustainable budget.
The need for the right strategy in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak, namely prioritizing
the safety of the population of an area but also maximizing the economy due to the impact
of COVID-19. The application of control treatment for PK therapy (𝑢2 )can minimize the
severe symptom population moving to the recovering population on day 2 and then it will
gradually decrease until the end of the observation. This means that the longer the time, the
more individuals recover with PK therapy. The less maximal therapeutic effect can be
caused by the limited convalescent plasma. This therapy is a method of treatment using
plasma from people who have recovered from the same disease.
