Progression of COVID19 Pandemic in India: A Concurrent Linear Regression Analysis Approach

This paper uses concurrent linear regression analysis approach to describe the progression of COVID 19 pandemic in India during the period 15 March 2020 through 15 May 2021. The approach provides very good fit to the daily reported new confirmed cases of the disease. The paper suggests that, based on the parameter of the model, an early warning system may be developed and institutionalised to undertaken necessary measures to control the spread of the disease, thereby controlling the pandemic.
