Establishing concerns of the Ministry of Health, the latest Report of Indian Trading Covid-19 developed by the University of Cambridge and the UK National and Social Research Institute, showed a new case growth rate that was a significant concern in 15 countries. On December 29, the reproductive number for Covid-19 has surpassed 1.2 in these countries – Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. In addition, the growth rates that are filtered from everyday cases have exceeded 2.5% in two other countries – Telangana and Uttarakhand.

In an email interview with IndianExpress.com, Professor Paul Kattuman, an economy econometrician who applied at Judge Business School, who worked on the development of Covid-19 Indian trackers, told us that patterns in data that suggested cases now increase Exponential and wave loads are currently driven by Omicron, which is more infectious and has a better imune runaway mechanism, will fall on older and immunocompromised. He, however, said that the omicron wave swept the world, Covid-19 could be endemic and operate at a level of approximately standard public health measures to overcome them.

In early 2020 when the British government prepared to overcome the threat of pandemic, the health of the British public (now called the British Health Security Agency) in the eastern region of England reaching universities to help with the analysis of thick pandemic data. This results in a number of collaborative efforts.

A small team gathered at Judge Business School by my colleague Scholtes Stefan, a professor of health management, began working on track forecasting from various variables related to new cases, hospital admissions, ventilator requests and deaths. The aim is to provide a reliable manion so that the health system can be prepared operationally for the sooner future. The urgency and importance of this mission make me focus on the new and more reliable time forecasting model.
