This paper discusses a Decision Support System (DSS) for cases prediction, allocation of resources, and lockdown management for managing COVID-19 at different levels of a government authority. Algorithms incorporated in the DSS are based on a data-driven modeling approach and independent of physical parameters of the region, and hence the proposed DSS is applicable to any area. Based on predicted active cases, the demand of lower-level units and total availability, allocation, and lockdown decision is made. A MATLAB-based GUI is developed based on the proposed DSS and could be implemented by the local authority.
