Abstract: In [Ecological Complexity 44 (2020) Art. 100885, DOI: 10.1016/j.ecocom.2020.100885] a continuous-time compartmental mathematical model for the spread of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is presented with Portugal as case study, from 2 March to 4 May 2020, and the local stability of the Disease Free Equilibrium (DFE) is analysed. Here, we propose an analogous discrete-time model and, using a suitable Lyapunov function, we prove the global stability of the DFE point. Using COVID-19 real data, we show, through numerical simulations, the consistence of the obtained theoretical results.
