There is currently no approved, recognized and acceptable vaccine or medicine for the treatment of the novel corona virus disease, COVID-19. Thus, non-pharmaceutical interventions such as contact tracing and quarantine are used to control the spread of the infectious disease. Contact tracing and quarantine promptly help to detect new COVID-19 infected persons early before they develop the symptoms and these also help to prevent secondary transmission of the virus in the community. This research study considered a deterministic model for COVI-19 with contact tracing and quarantine as control measure in the dynamics of the COVID-19. The model is developed for the existence of the disease-free equilibrium state. The model shows to be asymptotically stable is less than one and unstable when greater than one. It is then concluded that COVID-19 can be eradicated when contact tracing and quarantine are implemented together.
