The website also statedthat the estimates wereupdated daily with the latest data and the analysis and predictions are only for educational and research purposes.
Through mathematical modeling, the universityhas predicted that the pandemic is likely to end97 per centin the world on May 21 and end 100 per centon December 8, 2020.
Although some countries, including Bahrain and Qatar, will see the last of its fresh cases in February 2021.
