Abstract
Some mathematical epidemic equation of SEIR with diffusion, which appears as a model of COVID-19 for the spread of disease-causing, is treated. The asymptotic properties of the diffusive equation are studied by applying the strong maximum principle, strong fading memory property and some Lyapunov function.
