In this study, the ANN approach was applied to
analyze COVID-19 new deaths in Panama. The employed data covers the period
1January 2020 to 20 April 2021 and the out-of-sample period ranges over the
period 21 April 2021 to 31 August 2021. The residuals and forecast evaluation
criteria (Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model indicate that the model is
quite stable. The results of the study indicate that daily COVID-19 deaths in
Panama are likely to range between 3 and 50 deaths per day over the
out-of-sample period. Therefore there is need for the government of Panama to
ensure adherence to safety guidelines while continuing to create awareness
about the COVID-19 pandemic and speed up COVID-19 vaccine roll out.
