Statistical Analysis of Covid-19 Pandemic in Saudi Arabia

ABSTRACT

COVID-19, a new coronavirus illness, initially reported in China in December 2019 has spread around the world. COVID-19 coronavirus has evolved into a worldwide health hazard, quickly infecting humans. Controlling the outbreak is crucial, and scientists have continued to look at potential treatments. COVID-19 can also be defeated with supportive treatment and hospital critical care services. COVID-19 might be avoided using statistical forecasting techniques. The purpose of this study is to create a forecasting model that could be used to predict the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. An autoregressive (AR) integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to anticipate the number of deaths in three key Saudi Arabian regions Riyadh, Eastern Region, and Qassim. According to our findings, the number of fatalities in Riyadh and Eastern Region was expected to decrease in August (2021), while the deaths in Qassim were expected to decrease in July (2021).
