Prediction of waning time

Faculty and students of SRM University AP predicted the waning time of spread of COVID-19 in eight states of India.

In the current pandemic situation, a pertinent question is the estimate of time by which the second wave of COVID – 19 spread could be contained and normalcy would return.

It is in this context, Professor D. Narayana Rao, Pro-Vice Chancellor of SRM University AP initiated the study to predict the end-time of COVID-19 in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala & West Bengal.

Dr. Soumyajyoti Biswas of SRM University AP along with four B.Tech students – Mr. Anvesh Reddy, Mr. Hanesh Koganti, Mr. Sai Krishna and Mr. Suhas Reddy have carried out an interesting study to predict the end time of the second wave of COVID-19 spread in these states.

Study employed Susceptible – Infected – Recovered (SIR) Model making use of the information on the COVID – 19 affected people and the number of recovered people, the data which the state governments make them available.

SRM University AP team made use of these data employed SIR Model and applied the methods of Machine Learning.

End-time is defined as the date on which the number of COVID-19 affected cases get reduced to 5 percent of the peak number of cases occurred in the particular state.

The model is also validated with the actuals occurred in the States of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

The validation mentioned of the end-times of the second wave of COVID-19 spread increases our confidence level to the predictions made for other states also.

It can be noticed that in the states of West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the second wave of COVID-19 continues to spread for longer periods and errors are large compared to the other states of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.

Perhaps, these factors could be attributed to the large gatherings that have occurred in the four states on several occasions.

Professor Narayana Rao said that these predictions could help in estimating the impact on medium and small business sectors.

In the education sector, it could help in planning the academic sessions, examinations, etc.

It could also help to plan necessary medical infrastructure for healthcare in different states.
