| Early warning signals (EWSs) aim to predict changes in complex systems from phenomenological signals in time series data. These signals have recently been shown to precede the initial emergence of disease outbreaks, offering hope that policy makers can make predictive rather than reactive management decisions. Here, using daily COVID-19 case data in combination with a novel, sequential analysis, we show that composite EWSs consisting of variance, autocorrelation, and return rate not only pre-empt the initial emergence of COVID-19 in the UK by 14 to 29 days, but also the following wave six months later. We also predict there is a high likelihood of a third wave as of the data available on 9th June 2021. Our work suggests that in highly monitored disease time series such as COVID-19, EWSs offer the opportunity for policy makers to improve the accuracy of time critical decisions based solely upon surveillance data. | |
