Coronavirus disease COVID-19 tracking the global outbreak. SEIR compartmental model applied to SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Romania

Without data we cannot understand the pandemic. Only based on good data can we know how the disease is spreading, what impact the pandemic has on the lives of people around the world, and whether the countermeasures countries are taking are successful or not. But even the best available data on the coronavirus pandemic is far from perfect. In this chapter we present the latest data together with detailed explanations of what we can learn from this data: where does the data come from and what are the limitations that we need to be aware of. And what does the data tell us about the coronavirus pandemic in a particular country, Romania.
