Estimating the reproduction number and forecasting the impact of COVID-19 in Kuwait using a modified compartmental epidemiological model

2020-07-29

Abstract excerpt

A modified compartmental epidemic model was developed to simulate the state of Kuwait protocol in fighting COVID-19 pandemic. The next generation matrix method was used to drive an expression for the basic reproduction number, R 0 . Basic and effective reproduction numbers were calculated using data from the intrinsic growth rate of the confirmed COVID-19 cases. R 0 was found to be 2.18. Three scenarios that varie...
