AIR Worldwide launches COVID-19 projection tool

AIR Worldwide has launched a Verisk COVID-19 projection tool powered by its pandemic modelling data. It provides COVID-19 case and death projections worldwide for the next four weeks and the data will be updated on a daily basis to project one day further into the future.

The modelled projections of the pandemic are available globally at a country level and the outputs consider many variations in data availability and reliability, including underreporting.

“We’re providing this complimentary tool to give communities, businesses, governments and insurers a better understanding of what the near future of the COVID-19 pandemic could look like,” said AIR Worldwide director of life/health modelling Doug Fullam.

“Additionally, we are making this information publicly available as we feel it’s imperative to leverage our strengths as a trusted data steward to provide services that benefit the greater good.”

The modelled projections provided in the Verisk COVID-19 projection tool account for the effectiveness of containment measures, including the impact of social distancing, isolation, quarantining and other mitigation factors.

The scenarios provided in the projections tool give the means to help understand how effective these containment measures are at mitigating the spread of the disease.
