Mathematical modelling is a tool for presenting objects and processes with mathematical language and mathematical rules. Mathematical models can be used for research in public health and epidemiology. Nowadays, during the COVID19 outbreak, mathematical modelling is playing a central role in controlling the spread of infection, making predictions that can help monitoring the epidemic and making adequate responses, in order to lower the number of new infections. In this paper, several models commonly used to control the spreading of infections are considered. These models can also help controlling the COVID 19 infections
