Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the stochastic disease dynamics of an SIS epidemic model on two patches incorporating media coverage. We give the global existence and positivity of the solutions, and the sufficient conditions for almost surely exponentially stability of the disease-free equilibrium, which means that the disease will be stochastic extinction. Furthermore, we perform some numerical simulations to validate the analytical finding.
