The classical model is considered for studying fatal disease. First of all, the model is converted into the fractal fractional epidemic model. Then, the existence of the solution for the said model is ensured with the help of the fixed point theory. Points of equilibria for the model are worked out. The basic reproduction number is described and its role in the disease communication and sta-bility of the model is examined by some standard results. Simulated graphs are also plotted to sup-port the pre-results and claims. Lastly, the findings of the study are presented.(c) 2022 THE AUTHORS.
