  COVID-19, a novel coronavirus, is currently a major worldwide threat. It has
infected more than a million people globally leading to hundred-thousands of
deaths. In such grave circumstances, it is very important to predict the future
infected cases to support prevention of the disease and aid in the healthcare
service preparation. Following that notion, we have developed a model and then
employed it for forecasting future COVID-19 cases in India. The study indicates
an ascending trend for the cases in the coming days. A time series analysis
also presents an exponential increase in the number of cases. It is supposed
that the present prediction models will assist the government and medical
personnel to be prepared for the upcoming conditions and have more readiness in
healthcare systems.
