In this study, we attempt to estimate the final epidemic size of COVID-19 using the classic compartmental susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model [9] . The SIR model presents the increase of decrease information of an outbreak based on some initial data i.e. total given population (N), the infection rate of the infectious disease (β), the recovery rate of the disease (Ɣ), initial susceptible population (S0), initial infected population (I0) and the initial recovered population (R0). The SIR model base prediction of infection curve was compared with the confirmed cases ( Figure 02 ). ./cache/cord-319435-le2eifv8.txt ./txt/cord-319435-le2eifv8.txt
