Abstract

Covid-19 is a contagious infection and should

be managed properly. If it is identified early

enough, the chances of survival are high.

Symptoms presentations may be confusing to

health practitioners since they are similar to

other diseases and the number of health

professionals are mostly insufficient,

especially in developing countries, hence a

correct and timely diagnoses based on

symptoms’ presentations can prove difficult.

So far, efforts to take address these needs are

still not adequate. In this paper, we leverage on

the efficacy of machine learning algorithms to

present a machine learning approach,

Bayesian Belief Network, that aims at ensuring

that the symptoms’ set are correctly and

timeously classified as either Covid-19+ or

Covid-19- .

A dataset is gathered from observed symptoms

of confirmed Covid-19 patients by healthcare

practitioners. The dataset is trained so as to be

able to classify, based on this prior knowledge,

any supplied symptom set. This has been able to

effectively handle the problem of wrong or

delayed diagnoses with its attendant negative

consequences. Our model yields 98% accuracy,

showing a significant classification accuracy of

patients with Covid-19 symptoms.
