Scientists develop mathematical model to predict spread of coronavirus

Scientists from the Savitribai Phule Pune University have been working on solutions to the corona virus epidemic. Last month Dr. Bhalchandra Pujari and Dr. Snehal Shekatkar of Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CMS) – developed a mathematical model to predict the spread of the disease by investigating transport links between cities.

They found that it was necessary to shut down the transport network for effective measures. Moreover they are focusing on long term modelling framework that can predict the spread of any future epidemic other than Covid-19.
