Analysis of COVID-19 evolution in Senegal: impact of health care capacityMouhamed M. Fall, Babacar M. Ndiaye, Ousmane Seydi et al.
We consider a compartmental model from which we incorporate a time-dependent health care capacity having a logistic growth. This allows us to take into account the Senegalese authorities response in anticipating the growing number of infected cases. We highlight the importance of anticipation and timing to avoid overwhelming that could impact considerably the treatment of patients and the well-being of health care workers. A condition, depending on the health care capacity and the flux of new hospitalized individuals, to avoid possible overwhelming is provided. We also use machine learning approach to project forward the cumulative number of cases from March 02, 2020, until 1st December, 2020.

Visualization and machine learning for forecasting of COVID-19 in SenegalBabacar Mbaye Ndiaye, Mouhamadou A. M. T. Balde, Diaraf Seck
In this article, we give visualization and different machine learning technics for two weeks and 40 days ahead forecast based on public data. On July 15, 2020, Senegal reopened its airspace doors, while the number of confirmed cases is still increasing. The population no longer respects hygiene measures, social distancing as at the beginning of the contamination. Negligence or tiredness to always wear the masks? We make forecasting on the inflection point and possible ending time.

Comparative prediction of confirmed cases with COVID-19 pandemic by machine learning, deterministic and stochastic SIR modelsBabacar Mbaye Ndiaye, Lena Tendeng, Diaraf Seck
In this paper, we propose a machine learning technics and SIR models (deterministic and stochastic cases) with numerical approximations to predict the number of cases infected with the COVID-19, for both in few days and the following three weeks. Like in [1] and based on the public data from [2], we estimate parameters and make predictions to help on how to find concrete actions to control the situation. Under optimistic estimation, the pandemic in some countries will end soon, while for most of the countries in the world, the hit of anti-pandemic will be no later than the beginning of May.

Analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic by SIR model and machine learning technics for forecastingBabacar Mbaye Ndiaye, Lena Tendeng, Diaraf Seck
This work is a trial in which we propose SIR model and machine learning tools to analyze the coronavirus pandemic in the real world. Based on the public data from \cite{datahub}, we estimate main key pandemic parameters and make predictions on the inflection point and possible ending time for the real world and specifically for Senegal. The coronavirus disease 2019, by World Health Organization, rapidly spread out in the whole China and then in the whole world. Under optimistic estimation, the pandemic in some countries will end soon, while for most part of countries in the world (US, Italy, etc.), the hit of anti-pandemic will be no later than the end of April.
