We are interested here in determining the epidemiological peak of COVID-19 in Congo-Brazzaville. Based on a compartmental approach, we present a discrete delay model to describe the dynamics of the disease. Using variational data assimilation, we first deduce the parameters of the model, then make a numerical simulation of the epidemiological peak in Congo-Brazzaville.
