Estimation of Transmission Potential and Severity of COVID–19 in Romania and Pakistan

Abstract: During the outbreak of an epidemic, it is of immense interest to monitor the effects of containment measures and forecast of outbreak including epidemic peak. To confront the epidemic, a simple SIR model is used to simulate the number of affected patients of Coronavirus disease in Romania and Pakistan. The model captures the growth in case onsets and the estimated results are almost compatible with the actual reported cases. Through the calibration of parameters, forecast for the appearance of new cases in Rom… Show more

“…COVID-19 is known as a highly contagious disease and its transmission rate, β, varies from country to country, according to the density of the country and movements of its population. Ozair et al [17] assumed β to be [0.198 − 0.594] per day for Romania, and [0.097 − 0.291] per day for Pakistan. Further, Kuniya [10] estimated β as 0.26 (95%CI, 2.4 − 2.8).…”
