Considering that this virus follows the basic rules of epidemic disease transmission, we use the SIR model to show the spread process of this disease in Iran. Then we estimate the primary reproduction number (R0) of COVID-19 in Iran by matching an epidemic model with the data of reported cases. © 2022 date: 2023 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Salimipour, A. and Mehraban, T. and Ghafour, H.S. and Arshad, N.I. and Ebadi, M.J.
