Abstract(in English) In 2020, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic and is still spreading. One of the reason why COVID-19 spreads widely is that it has high infectivity and some patients infected uncousciously. While the development of a vaccine against COVID-19 virus would take much more time, one of the main strategies taken to control the spread of infection is the quarantine of infected persons. However, it is an important issue to quantitatively investigate to what extent the quarantine of infected patients can reduce the spread of infection. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the quarantine to control the spread of infection, using a stochastic infection transmission model on networks. First, we propose an r-SIAR model that introduces the process of quarantine of infected persons and a class of recovering persons. The proposed r-SIAR model has stochastic dynamics of state transitions at each vertex on the network. Next, using the proposed model, we simulated the spread of infectious diseases and investigated how much the final infection rates are reduced when the infected patients were quarantined. We found that depending on the network structure and infectivity, the quarantine of infectious person is not effective.
