A simulation study to the prediction of COVID-19 in the Netherlands

The pandemic of COVID-19 affects and has been affecting the social and economic life of the world severely. Governments all over the world are taking several measures to control the pandemic. Yet, governments do not know exactly how much impact measures have on limiting the spread of the pandemic, and how factors such as weather impact spread. This research was conducted as a project from the University of Twente. With help of this research, we gained understanding in the spread of COVID-19 in the Netherlands. The research contributes with a system dynamics model that predicts spread of the pandemic and with insights developed in measures and their impacts.
