Abstract

In this article, we have considered nine countries where the epidemic shows steady state or has a rising trend and used the traditional SEIR model to estimate the parameter for COVID-19 disease. These parameters are contact rate, removal rate, basic reproduction number, initial doubling time, point of inflection, and epidemic rate. In another part of the work, we have considered five countries where the epidemic trend has not settled and used exponential smoothing technique to forecast the infected cases. The study reports a magnifiable concern for reducing the transmission rate in order to combat the disease.
