MRFGRO: a hybrid meta-heuristic feature selection method for screening COVID-19 using deep features

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that causes infection in both lungs and the upper respiratory tract. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a global pandemic because of its rapid spread across the globe. The most common way for COVID-19 diagnosis is real-time reverse transcription-pol...
