Correlations between the parameters describing the coronavirus pandemic have been established. Partially lost data was supplemented by polynomial functions, as well as by linear approximation. The number of those who suffered and those who died from COVID-19 was predicted using SGTM neural-like structure topologies supervised mode. Keywords— COVID-19, Bahrain, ANN, SGTM neural-like structure, forecast of the number of new patients, forecast those who died from COVID-19, matrix of correlations between parameters, linear approximation I. INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic in Bahrain is part of the 2019 global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) caused by severe acute coronavirus 2 respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). It was confirmed that the virus reached Bahrain on February 21, 2020. The decision to extend the restrictive measures in Bahrain that were introduced due to the danger of the further spread of coronavirus were made by the authorities of the kingdom on 22 nd of April. The ban on the work of cinemas, sports facilities, hookah bars, restaurants was prolonged. Bahrain residents will continue to be required to wear masks in public. Bahrain has set up an appropriate National Working Group, the Bahrain Team, to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus and has taken steps to ensure the immediate installation of COVID-19 test agents. Bahrain has one of the highest COVID-19 disease revealed by testing rates, so that it was at first praised by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its professional response to this quickly-spreading illness. The Bahrain Kingdom is ready to take further action to avoid the spread of the virus. In addition, the Government of Bahrain provides support to individuals and companies through a comprehensive package of incentives for the economy which sums up to approximately 11.4 billion dollars. Despite all seemingly responsible attitude to the well- being of its citizens, as a mini-state with direct ties to Saudi Arabia and indirectly to the United States, Bahrain viewed every internal, regional and global problem and threat, including the current pandemic, through an Iranian-Saudi- American prism. The COVID pandemic has highlighted economic, social, and religious issues in the country that the ruling family has been unable to resolve, and often exacerbated in recent years. Moreover, migrant workers - mainly from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Philippines – present nearly 40 percent of the total population. Apart from the skilled and semi-skilled Indian workers segment, the vast majority of migrant workers have low-paid jobs and are at the bottom of the economic ladder. They have no job security, suffer from inadequate medical care. Many of the migrant workers were unable to keep social distancing in their cramped apartments and were forced to go outside in search of food. Because they could not go to grocery stores or order food online, many of them had to beg for food due to insufficient food resources. Bahrain, like some of its neighbors, is said to soon face a day of reckoning in the post-COVID era with a lack of foreign workers who usually do most of the dirty work in the country that Bahraini people are unwilling to do. The coronavirus exposed the status and mistreatment of foreign workers in Bahrain. The unfortunate experience of some of these workers during the COVID lockdown will make them less likely to either stay 2020 International Conference on Decision Aid Sciences and Application (DASA) © IEEE 2021.
