It is a public secret that COVID-19 is of
serious concern worldwide and considered as the supreme crisis of the present
era. In this research article, the ANN approach was applied to analyze COVID-19
deaths in Poland. This study is based on daily COVID-19 deaths in Poland for
the period 1 January 2020 – 20 April 2021. The out-of-sample forecast covers
the period 21 April – 31 August 2021.The residuals and forecast evaluation
criteria (Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model show that the model is
stable. It is projected that daily COVID-19 deaths in Poland are likely to
continue to decline over the out-of-sample period. The government should,
however, continue to ensure that there is compliance to control and preventive
COVID-19 measures such as social distancing, quarantine, isolation, face-mask
wearing and so on. There is also need to embrace the vaccination programme in
the country.
