All reviews of published articles are made public. This includes manuscript files, peer review comments, author rebuttals and revised materials. Note: This was optional for articles submitted before 13 February 2023.
Peer reviewers are encouraged (but not required) to provide their names to the authors when submitting their peer review. If they agree to provide their name, then their personal profile page will reflect a public acknowledgment that they performed a review (even if the article is rejected). If the article is accepted, then reviewers who provided their name will be associated with the article itself.
The paper can be accepted. Congratulations.

A major revision is needed to address some shortcomings raised by the reviewers. Please provide a detailed response letter. I plan to invite a new reviewer to assess your revised version instead of sending it back to the present reviewers.
[# PeerJ Staff Note: It is PeerJ policy that additional references suggested during the peer-review process should only be included if the authors are in agreement that they are relevant and useful #]
[# PeerJ Staff Note: Please ensure that all review and editorial comments are addressed in a response letter and any edits or clarifications mentioned in the letter are also inserted into the revised manuscript where appropriate. #]

The English is poor. Authors have to revise the paper carefully. For example, "The discovery of a new form of corona-viruses in December 2019, SARS-CoV-2, commonly named covid-19, has transformed the world." the word transformed here is wrongly used. "The world has been waiting for the vaccine for almost one year." may be more than one year? Also line 261 and line 265 should be corrected.
The numerical experiment are given. However, wome detail illustration should be given on these results with figures.
The results in this paper deserve publication.
The references are not completed, such as Nonlinear Dynamics 106, 1491-1507, 2021, Nonlinear Dynamics 106, 1347-1358, 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already spread throughout the world and the people are aware about the diseases and they are using precautions about the pandemic. But, still the covid-19 is spreading very quickly. Formulate a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of COVID-19. Few minor issues:
---- The abstract is a little thin and does not quite convey the vibrancy of the findings and the depth of the main conclusions. The authors should please extend this somewhat for a better first impression.
---- The manuscript lacks motivation. Author needs to include the motivation of the study.
-----To stop the spread of the diseases vaccine is needed. But, in absence of the vaccine people must have maintain the social distancing. In order to maintain the social distancing must obey the modeling rule. The introduction need to be improved by incorporating some recent references of COVID-19 pandemic. To do so, I suggest some modeling work must be included in the references: "Modeling and forecasting the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Chaos, Soliton & Fract. 139 (2020) 110049", “Mathematical modeling of the COVID-19 outbreak with intervention strategies, Results in Physics, 2021, 104285”.
Need to explain properly the parameter estimation. For parameter estimation and model validation authors should include the manuscripts:
"Forecasting the daily and cumulative number of cases for the COVID-19 pandemic in India, Chaos, 30(7) (2020) 071101", “Impact of social media advertisements on the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 pandemic in India, Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing (2021)”
For model validation and proper writing of the manuscript authors should include the manuscripts: "Modeling the dynamics of COVID-19 pandemic with implementation of intervention strategies, The European Physical Journal Plus (2022)"; "Mathematical modeling and optimal intervention strategies of the COVID-19 outbreak, Nonlinear Dynamics, (2022)".
