Abstract

The convenient transport network enables people to travel quickly and frequently across regions, but it also brings serious challenges to the emergency management of infectious diseases. This work extends the classical SEIR model by incorporating trans-regional population movements and contact infections during travel. It also includes cross-regional population testing and treatment measures to curb the spread of infectious diseases across regions. According to these characteristics, a Net-SEIHR model is established and its diffusion properties are deduced. Further, the cooperative allocation problem of limited detection resources and its control strategy are discussed. Numerical experiments show that the control measures can reduce the speed of trans-regional transmission of infectious diseases and the peak of treatment. In the case of limited testing resources, it is necessary to strengthen the detection of people in the inflow regions.
