Abstract
Covid-19 emerged as one of the most infectious diseases in the history of humankind, affecting nearly 250 million people worldwide in just a short period. The pandemic, which started in China, has now spread worldwide, taking about 5 million lives globally. This has also severely affected the countries' economies and has burdened health care systems. Due to these reasons, forecasting the spread of the disease has become critical so that concerned government authorities in countries can have the chance to mitigate the space and plan healthcare resources efficiently and adequately. This makes it more important to have a reliable forecast to plan resources ahead of time. In the present work, linear regression is used for time forecasting the spread of Covid-19 in Pakistan. Statistical parameters and metrics have been used to evaluate and validate the model. The results show that linear regression results are highly reliable, time efficient and accurate.
