Abstract
The new coronavirus COVID-19 is an infectious disease that started spreading globally in December 2019. Some symptoms are known to give clues as to whether the COVID-19 virus is infected. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper was to determine specific symptoms related to COVID-19 for the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 cases. The data set consists of 25985 individuals including PCR results, 2 demographic properties (age, gender), and 5 symptoms such as headache, shortness of breath, sore throat, fever, and cough is considered in this study. We analyzed the relationship between these covariates and PCR results by binary logistic regression model. A total of 16405 (63.1%) individuals having to positive PCR results were included in this study. The research population was divided into two age groups (
