Analysis of COVID-19 evolution in Senegal: impact of health care capacity

Abstract

We consider a compartmental model from which we incorporate a time-dependent health care capacity having a logistic growth. This allows us to take into account the Senegalese authorities response in anticipating the growing number of infected cases. We highlight the importance of anticipation and timing to avoid overwhelming that could impact considerably the treatment of patients and the well-being of health care workers. A condition, depending on the health care capacity and the flux of new hospitalized individuals, to avoid possible overwhelming is provided. We also use machine learning approach to project forward the cumulative number of cases from March 02, 2020, until 1st December, 2020.
