  We consider the pandemic spreading of COVID-19 in India after the outbreak of
the coronavirus in Wuhan city, China. We estimate the transmission rate of the
initial infecting individuals of COVID-19 in India by using the officially
reported data at the early stage of the epidemic with the help of Susceptible
(S), Exposed (E), Infected (I), and Removed (R) population model, the so-called
SEIR dynamical model. Numerical analysis and model verification are performed
to calibrate the system parameters with official public information about the
number of people infected, and then to evaluate several COVID -19 scenarios
potentially applicable to India. Our findings provide an estimation of disease
occurrence in the near future and also demonstrate the importance of
governmental and individual efforts to control the effects and time of the
pandemic-related critical situations. We also give special emphasis to
individual reactions in the containment process.
