Abstract: COVID-19 outbreak, first reported in Wuhan, China and has since spreaded to more

CoronaTracker as an implementation of a framework that aims collect data, to predict and forecast
COVID- 19 cases, deaths, and recoveries through predictive modelling. Such framework will help us
in early disease prevention in future, helps to interpret patterns of public sentiment on disseminating
related health information, and assess political and economic influence of any crisis.
