The COVID-19 coronavirus illness is caused by a newly discovered species of coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. Since COVID-19 has now expanded across many nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated it a pandemic. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is often used to screen samples of patients showing signs of COVID-19; however, this method is more expensive and takes at least 24 hours to get a positive or negative response. Thus, an immediate and precise method of diagnosis is needed. In this paper, chest X-rays will be utilized through a deep neural network (DNN), based on a convolutional neural network (CNN), to detect COVID-19 infection. Based on their X-rays, those with COVID-19 indications may be categorized as clean, infected with COVID-19 or suffering from pneumonia, according to the suggested CNN network. Sample pieces from every group are used in experiments, and categorization is performed by a CNN. While experimenting, the CNN-derived features were able to generate the maximum training accuracy of 94.82% and validation accuracy of 94.87%. The F1-scores were 97%, 90% and 96%, in clearly categorizing patients afflicted by COVID-19, normal and having pneumonia, respectively. Meanwhile, the recalls are 95%, 91% and 96% for COVID-19, normal and pneumonia, respectively.
