Prediction of COVID-19 Disease Progression in India : Under the Effect of National Lockdown
Sourish Das
In this policy paper, we implement the epidemiological SIR to estimate the basic reproduction number ℛ₀ at national and state level. We also developed the statistical machine learning model to predict the cases ahead of time. Our analysis indicates that the situation of Punjab (ℛ₀≈16) is not good. It requires immediate aggressive attention. We see the ℛ₀ for Madhya Pradesh (3.37) , Maharastra (3.25) and Tamil Nadu (3.09) are more than 3. The ℛ₀ of Andhra Pradesh (2.96), Delhi (2.82) and West Bengal (2.77) is more than the India's ℛ₀=2.75, as of 04 March, 2020. India's ℛ₀=2.75 (as of 04 March, 2020) is very much comparable to Hubei/China at the early disease progression stage. Our analysis indicates that the early disease progression of India is that of similar to China. Therefore, with lockdown in place, India should expect as many as cases if not more like China. If lockdown works, we should expect less than 66,224 cases by May 01,2020. All data and \texttt{R} code for this paper is available from \url{https://github.com/sourish-cmi/Covid19}
