• Abstract summary: Many people are getting infected and either recovering or dying even before the test due to the shortage and cost of kits. This research work leveraged the concept of COVID-19 detection by proposing a risk-free and highly accurate Stacked Ensemble Machine Learning model. The proposed method has the potential for large scale ubiquitous low-cost screening application.

• Abstract: The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RTPCR)} test is the silver bullet diagnostic test to discern COVID infection. Rapid antigen detection is a screening test to identify COVID positive patients in little as 15 minutes, but has a lower sensitivity than the PCR tests. Besides having multiple standardized test kits, many people are getting infected and either recovering or dying even before the test due to the shortage and cost of kits, lack of indispensable specialists and labs, time-consuming result compared to bulk population especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. Intrigued by the parametric deviations in immunological and hematological profile of a COVID patient, this research work leveraged the concept of COVID-19 detection by proposing a risk-free and highly accurate Stacked Ensemble Machine Learning model to identify a COVID patient from communally available-widespread-cheap routine blood tests which gives a promising accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score of 100%. Analysis from R-curve also shows the preciseness of the risk-free model to be implemented. The proposed method has the potential for large scale ubiquitous low-cost screening application. This can add an extra layer of protection in keeping the number of infected cases to a minimum and control the pandemic by identifying asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic people early.

  The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the emergence of new variants underscore the importance of effective screening measures. While PCR tests are the gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis, they are costly and time-consuming. urine test strips are an inexpensive, non-invasive, and rapidly obtainable screening method that can provide important information about a patient's health status.

  Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type-2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a global pandemic and immensely affected the global economy. Recently, multiple alternative platforms for testing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been published that show high agreement with current gold standard real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results. These new methods do away with nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, eliminate the need for complicated reagents, and reduce the burden on RT-PCR test reagent supply. In the present work, we have designed an artificial intelligence-based (AI) testing method to provide confidence in the results.
