In this paper, we propose a stress-strength model to assess the effectiveness of public health interventions and precautionary measures performed by health care systems in controlling the spread of the novel Covid-19 using a stress-strength model. The dependence structure is modeled using a copula-based approach. An application on the Egyptian system is given.
