Abstract
The 2019-2020 global pandemic has been caused by a disease called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease has been caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). By April 30 2020, the World Health Organization reported 3,096,626 cases and 217,896 deaths, which implies an exponential growth for infection and deaths worldwide. Currently, there are various computer-based approaches that present COVID-19 data through different types of charts, which is very useful to recognise its behavior and trends. Nevertheless, such approaches do not allow for observation of any projection regarding confirmed cases and deaths, which would be useful to understand the trends of COVID-19. In this work, we have designed and developed an online dashboard that presents actual information about COVID-19. Furthermore, based on this information, we have designed a mathematical model in order to make projections about the evolution of cases and deaths worldwide and by country.
Highlights
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is a virus strain that causes respiratory illness. This virus was identified in December, 2019 and its first infection case was reported on December 30, 2019 in Wuhan city located in Hubei providence, China[1]
To perform the projection for estimating future cases and deaths, we developed a mathematical model focused on a quadratic equation[12] based on data of present day and 30 previous days
COVID-19 Dashboard is able to process the data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) related to COVID-19 rates and World Population Review related to the current world population
Summary
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is a virus strain that causes respiratory illness. This virus was identified in December, 2019 and its first infection case was reported on December 30, 2019 in Wuhan city located in Hubei providence, China[1]. The WHO have reported the following numbers of cases and deaths worldwide: January 31, 9,847 cases and 213 deaths[3]; February 29, 85,961 cases and 2,941 deaths[4]; March 31, 754,933 cases and 36,522 deaths[5]; and April 30, 3,096,626 cases and 217,896 deaths[6]. We can observe an exponential growth of the disease
