Then, the feature importance techniques were employed to reveal theimportance of the utilized features which means revealing the most important measures taken for the COVID-19pandemic for our case. Within the analysis, four features were utilized, namely, the population density, the walkingmobility, the driving mobility, and the number of lockdown days. According to the experimental result, thepopulation density was found as the most important feature which means the most critical measure in terms ofincreasing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
