Abstract

Evidently, simulation is used in a variety of applications, like engineering, science, and even the medical field. The use of simulation by researchers and scientists helps in experimenting virtually, identifying, and investigating different parameters in cases that cannot be performed in reality. Therefore, with the current state of the COVID-19 spread worldwide, simulation of various scenarios of the virus spread using diverse programs is extremely important for the world health organization (i.e. WHO), in order to come up with rules and safety precautions for citizens interacting in public and to avoid getting infected. In this paper, sundry COVID-19 simulation cases and scenarios collected from various research studies are discussed, hence broad conclusions are stated based on the results obtained.
