The predictions are updated on a weekly basis to account for any variations in India including changes in the government policies.

This is a modified form of the traditional SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious, and Recovered) model and it caters for the interactions that occur between sub-populations such as districts or states. It represents a more realistic approach towards prediction of COVID-19 trajectory than the traditional SEIR models.
