Abstract

Since December 2019, many statistical spatial–temporal methods have been developed to track and predict the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we analyzed the COVID-19 dataset which includes the number of biweekly infected cases registered in Ontario from March 2020 to the end of June 2021. We made use of Bayesian Spatial–temporal models and Area-to-point (ATP) and Area-to-area (ATA) Poisson Kriging models. With the Bayesian models, spatial–temporal effects and government intervention effects on infection risk are considered while the ATP Poisson Kriging models are used to display the spread of the pandemic over space.
