Application of distributed lag models and spatial analysis for comparing the performance of the COVID-19 control decisions in European countries.

ABSTRACT: Over the past three years, the COVID-19 outbreak has become a major worldwide problem, affecting the health systems and economies of countries. The mean delays, the expected time to observe the average effect of the number of new cases on the number of deaths, are gold times for decision-making regarding disease control and treatment facilities to reduce the fatality rate. The interest of the present study is estimating the mean delays and adjusted fatality rates of COVID-19 with the new application of Distributed Lag Models (DLM) and their spatial distributions. The daily cases and deaths data of COVID-19 for 39 European countries was obtained from two sources; the "European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control" and the "Our World in Data" database. The mean delay and the Adjusted Fa
