The detection of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) using standard laboratory tests, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), is time-consuming. Complex medical imaging problems are currently being solved using machine learning and deep learning techniques. Our proposed solution utilizes chest radiography imaging techniques, which have shown to be a faster alternative for detecting COVID-19. We present an efficient and lightweight deep learning architecture for identifying COVID-19 using chest X-ray images which achieve 99.81% accuracy in intra-database testing and 100% accuracy in cross-validation testing on a separate data set. The results demonstrate the potential of our proposed model as a reliable tool for COVID-19 diagnosis using chest X-ray images, which can have a significant impact on improving the efficiency of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment.
