We present a mathematical model that would allow one to describe the transmission dynamics of Covid-19 between two neighboring cities or countries. This model is analyzed both analytical and numerically. It is a preliminary model because it assumes that the migration rate and the mortality rate are constant over time. Despite these simplifications, only two of the four equilibrium conditions were deduced from the system of equations proposed in this paper. Finally, we show an example the transmission dynamics between Portugal and Spain according to the cases registered before June 3, 2020.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
