Prediction of COVID’19 Outbreak by Using ML-Based Time-Series Forecasting Approach

The COVID-19 now became a pandemic and rising rapidly and spreading in all parts of the world like fire. India reported its first COVID-19 case on January 30, when a student arrived in Kerala from Wuhan. Thousands of people are acquiring this deadly virus daily and with many people dying from it. The major concern of all the countries is to protect its citizens and try to eradicate this disease as fast as possible. This paper aims to perform exploratory analysis using the concepts of data science on the confirmed cases, total deaths, and total recovered cases of this virus. The research work predicts the spread of the outbreak for the next five days by using time-series forecasting algorithms. This paper deals with learning about how the corona virus is spreading and using that trend to predict for the upcoming days. It would be able to predict to a suitable accuracy which can help the government learn about the statistics of this disease and prepare further for protection against this. The results are discussed at last with prediction and error estimates.
