This Demonstration presents a susceptible\[Hyphen]exposed\[Hyphen]infectious\[Hyphen]recovered-died (SEIRD) model for analyzing the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. A control parameter with a value in the range is introduced into the model to measure the effectiveness of a social distancing policy. The higher the value of , the more effective the control policy. The parameters of the model were obtained by using the vast data provided about the pandemic on a daily basis by several scientific organizations. The model makes predictions on the turning points and possible vanishing time of the pandemic for a given population and initial number of exposed persons.

Details
The SEIRD model for COVID-19 implemented in this Demonstration is the coupled system of ordinary differential equations:
,
,
,
,
,
where
= susceptible fraction of the population,
= exposed fraction of the population,
= infected fraction of the population,
= fraction of population that has recovered,
= fraction of population that has died of the infection,
= effectiveness of control (social distancing) measure,
= infection rate,
= average incubation time (days),
= average infective time (days),
= case fatality rate.
