Why is it important?
The SIRD model was used to find the basic reproductive ratio of the disease in multiple countries. The basic reproductive ratio values for the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Brazil, and Canada were found to be 1.3274, 1.0714, 1.0866, 1.5589, and 1.3610 respectively. The average value of the basic reproductive ratio for the 2022 outbreak is 1.2809, indicating that the disease may become a pandemic.
