The author regrets to observe some misprint typo mistake in the paper. The following formulas were published by they should be.

For endemic-equilibrium, (3.2) should be

αeS*E*αiS*I*+rR*+Λ=0αeS*E*+αiS*I*KE*φE*=0KE*βI*μI*=0βI*+φE*rR*=0 (0.1)

System (3.3) should be

I*=Kβ+μE*R*=1r(βKβ+μ+φ)E*S*=K+φαe+αiKβ+μ (0.2)

Equation (3.4) should be

E*=Λ(αi+αe)(K+φαe+αiKβ+μ)(βKβ+μ+φ) (0.3)

Equation (3.6) should be

R*=1r(βKβ+μ+φ)Λ(αi+αe)(K+φαe+αiKβ+μ)(βKβ+μ+φ) (0.4)

Also equation (3.5), (3.7) and (3.8) the term (K+φαi+αiKβ+μ) should be (K+φαe+αiKβ+μ)

In the second part

V=(K+φ0Kβ+μ) (0.5)

Then

FV1=(αeSαiS00)(β+μ(β+μ)(K+φ)0K(β+μ)(K+φ)K+φ(β+μ)(K+φ)) (0.6)

Equation (3.23) is R 0 > 1.

Equation (3.24) should be

J=(αeEαiIαeSαiSrαeE+αiIKφ+αeSαiS00Kβμ00φβr) (0.7)

such that Equation (3.25) is

J(E0)=(000r0Kφ000Kβμ00φβr) (0.8)

In section 5 equation (5.1) should be

J=(αeE*αiI*αeS*αiS*rαeE*+αiI*Kφ+αeS*αiS*00Kβμ00φβr) (0.9)

Equation (5.3) should be

det(λ+δ1αeS*αiS*rδ1λ+δ2αiS*00Kλ+δ300φβλ+r)=0 (0.10)

where

δ1=αeE*+αiI*
δ2=K+φαeS*
δ3=β+μ

Thus the characteristic polynomial should be

PJE*=λ4+a1λ3+a2λ2+a3λ1+a4

The descriptions of parameters for proposed model are follows:

αe= is the rate at which susceptible population becomes exposed

αi= rate at which susceptible population become infected

Λ=present the recruitment rate

K=rate at which exposed become infected

β=recovered rate

μ=death rate due to covid-19

r= relapsed rate

φ=recovered rate for exposed class.

The author would be like to apologize to readers for any inconvenience caused.
