Methods: Data from BBMP and Karnataka__ampersandsign#39;s government from 1 April to 12 June 2020 used to calculate the prediction. We have used FORECAST.ETS function in Microsoft EXCEL to predict the future number of COVID-19 cases for Bangalore city.&#13;
Results: Based on the prediction analysis, the number of cases at Bangalore may reach 3240 by the end of Aug 2020. The percentage of positive cases at Bangalore from the total samples tested across Karnataka may reach up to 0.6 %. Death count due to COID-19 may touch at 80. Overall, the prediction appears that the status of the COVID-19 may continue to be good with some additions.&#13;
Conclusion: Bangalore is doing well with COVID-19 management. However, the situation may change at the point of time due to various contributors. Proactive approaches, as mentioned in the recommendations section, is much critical to managing the pandemic situation.&#13;
