“…In [12] decision tree algorithm is used to identify the most vulnerable group of people who were at extraordinary risk during the 2009 influenza pandemic in Taiwan. According to the study carried out in [13], Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) learning models could enhance the average performance of prediction produced by Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) by 24% and 19% respectively while predicting the chickenpox.…”

As COVID-19 is a new virus, there is no acquired immunity. COVID-19 spreads more rapidly than its earlier viruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and thus has the higher pandemic potential [1]. The earlier viruses transmit only with much closer contacts whereas COVID-19 spreads through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks [2]. Also, one can be infected by breathing in the virus if he/she is within a distance of around 1 m from an infected person or by touching an infected person and then touching his/her face/nose/mouth/eyes. From the study [3], the most common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are found to be fever and cough (67.8%). In the case of earlier viruses, infected persons can infect others only after developing the respective symptoms. But with COVID-19, people who are infected with the virus can transmit the virus to others in their presymptomatic stage (i.e. just before the symptoms start to appear) due to high viral load [4,5]. In addition, recent research analyzes that people get infected with no symptoms (asymptomatic) and they too can infect others [6].As COVID-19 can spread presymptomatic stage of an infected person as well as through asymptomatic cases, testing of infected people is very important. Though Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), a nucleic acid testing
