ABSTRACT
It's been more than a year since the world is struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic. Mutation of the virus leads to a new wave of infection in a lot of countries. The virus has a very high spreading rate, so all the infected patients won't be able to treat in the hospitals and chances of it spreading among healthcare workers is also high. So we propose a system to monitor COVID-19 patients undergoing quarantine from their own homes during the pandemic, so as to save the hospital bed spaces for the patients with a critical health condition, who need immediate medical attention. The proposed system helps us to avoid overcrowding in hospitals and thereby avoiding the spreading of the virus from highly infected patients to the unaffected individuals. The methodology utilizes LSTM model which is a recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture used in the field of deep learning. © 2021 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
In the 21st century, the world has been plagued by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a virus of the family Coronaviridae epidemiologically suspected to be linked to a wet market in Wuhan, China. The involvement of wildlife and wet markets with the previous outbreaks simultaneously has been brought into sharp focus. Although scientists are yet to ascertain the host range and zoonotic potential of SARS-CoV-2 rigorously, information about its two ancestors, SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), is a footprint for research on COVID-19. A 96% genetic similarity with bat coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2 indicates that the bat might be a potential reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 just like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, where civets and dromedary camels are considered the potential intermediate host, respectively. Perceiving the genetic similarity between pangolin coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2, many scientists also have given the scheme that the pangolin might be the intermediate host. The involvement of SARS-CoV-2 with other animals, such as mink, snake, and turtle has also been highlighted in different research articles based on the interaction between the key amino acids of S protein in the receptor-binding domain and angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2). This study highlights the potential animal reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 and the role of wildlife in the COVID-19 pandemic. Although different causes, such as recurring viral genome recombination, wide genetic assortment, and irksome food habits, have been blamed for this emergence, basic research studies and literature reviews indicate an enormous consortium between humans and animals for the COVID-19 pandemic.
