This page provides regular updates of COVID-19 model outcomes for the Post-Soviet states. The dynamic simulation uses the SPEIQRD (Susceptible-Protected-Exposed-Infectious-Quarantined-Recovered-Dead) model. For more details of result we refer the reader to the preprint https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.19.20071704.

The basic reproduction number, R0, can be seen as the average number of people who are infected from an active case. Based on the model, the behavior of R0 is illustrated in the below figure.
