TY - JOUR AU - Lounis, Mohamed AU - Bagal, Dilip Kumar PY - 2020 DA - 2020/10/19 TI - Estimation of SIR model’s parameters of COVID-19 in Algeria JO - Bulletin of the National Research Centre SP - 180 VL - 44 IS - 1 AB - The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is reported in Algeria on February 25th, 2020. Since then, the number is still increasing leading to a total number of 36,699 cases and 1333 deaths on August 12th, 2020. Thus, comprehension of the epidemic curve is very important to predict its evolution and subsequently adapt the best prevention strategies. In this way, the current study was conducted to estimate the parameters of the classical SIR model and to predict the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic in Algeria using data from February 25th, 2020 to August 12th, 2020.
