Abstract

BACKGROUND: The new global pandemic caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19), novel coronavirus pneumonia, has spread rapidly around the world, causing enormous damage to daily life, public health security, and the global economy. Early detection and treatment of COVID-19 infected patients are critical to prevent the further spread of the epidemic. However, existing detection methods are unable to rapidly detect COVID-19 patients, so infected individuals are not detected in a timely manner, which complicates the prevention and control of COVID-19 to some extent. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a rapid and practical COVID-19 detection method. In this work, we explored the application of deep learning in COVID-19 detection to develop a rapid COVID-19 detection method.
