COVID-19 Wave Pattern Analysis: An Exhaustive Survey

COVID-19 is one of the severe problems in front of the world. The world is facing a second and third wave now. Different researchers are planning the pattern of spread based on wave one behavior, vaccination patterns, medical facilities, etc. This paper focuses on the main models for understanding the patterns discussed and valuable for understanding and addressing the COVID-19 issue. COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that spreads very quickly from person to person. This virus has gripped the world even though many countries like the UK and Thailand have managed to contain its spread significantly. The first case of this virus was reported in India in March 2019. Almost all countries had to suffer human losses due to this virus. Countries are not prepared to face the consequences arising from this pandemic. The study found that social distance, geographic location, and temperature, among other parameters, could allow researchers to develop more accurate models. When the pandemic started to spread, the researchers' focus was on how to control the pandemic from spreading to other areas. When the pandemic began to slow down, the emphasis was on developing models related to recovery and the long-term impact caused by the pandemic.
