  We propose a compartmental mathematical model for the spread of the COVID-19
disease with special focus on the transmissibility of super-spreaders
individuals. We compute the basic reproduction number threshold, we study the
local stability of the disease free equilibrium in terms of the basic
reproduction number, and we investigate the sensitivity of the model with
respect to the variation of each one of its parameters. Numerical simulations
show the suitability of the proposed COVID-19 model for the outbreak that
occurred in Wuhan, China.
