Prediction of the Development of Covid-19 Case in Indonesia Based on Google Trend Analysis

Abstract

The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has recently hit many countries around the world. Indonesia is one of the 10 most affected countries. Search engines such as Google provide data on search activity in a population, and this data may be useful for analyzing epidemics. Leveraging data mining methods on electronic resource data can provide better insights into the COVID-19 outbreak to manage health crises in every country and around the world. This study aims to predict the incidence of COVID-19 by utilizing data from the Covid 19 Task Force and the Google Trends website. Linear regression and long-term memory (LSTM) models were used to estimate the number of positive COVID-19 cases.
