Introduction

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell.

Idea

The idea is to stop the transmission by prioritizing tests and hence detecting the cases quickly.

---

Model

• A machine learning model is trained on the data to findout the probability of person having the infection.
• The model is then used to find out whom to test for infection first under a limited testing capacity.

Machine learning parameters

• Sample set of parameters are as follow:
• Features:
  • Fever - Continuous
  • Body Pain - Binary(0/1)
  • Age - Discrete
  • Runny Nose - Binary(0/1)
  • Difficulty breathing - Categorical(-1/0/1)
• Labels:
  • Probability of COVID-19 infection
