The first case reported on 26/02/2020 and the first death reported on 19/03/2020.
The aforementioned information is derived from the data. From this point on we analyze our assumptions, choices and conclusions based on the model.
The basic assumption is that the reported data are not showing the reality of COVID-19 spread. This is based on the fact that there is no efficient testing on the whole population. For our analysis, only daily deaths can give a good estimation of the disease progression. This is the reason why we do not calibrate the model to the data, as we want the model to capture what happens in reality, without overfitting.
With this in mind, we assume that around 70 exposed persons entered the Pakistani province between 14/02/2020 and 29/02/2020.
The Potential Isolation Effectiveness reached 20% and the Behavioral Risk Reduction reached 80%.
The reaction time of people to the measures is 5 days, on average.
The confirmed cases are around 10% of the real number.
We assume that season has an effect of 22%.
The number of confirmed deaths is low compared to the population of the country. It seems that the government has controlled the spread of coronavirus. After the loosening of measures at 15/04/2020 and at 21/05/2020 there is an increase in confirmed cases and deaths. Pakistan seems to take advantage of the season in order to control better the pandemic during summer. This analysis assumes that the measures stay as they are; if any of the aforementioned measures are lifted, the analysis must be updated.
