Abstract

In 2007 Avramov provided theoretical framework which suggests that the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (KJMA) model, which is commonly used in materials science to describe transformation phenomena, could be used in describing infection spreading in human networks. In the current article the KJMA model is fitted to the COVID-19 mainland China infection data, which consists of 29 datasets for different regions. It was found that the model provided very good fit to the datasets. The obtained values for rate constant, Avrami exponent and the initiation time are provided for all of the cases.
