Abstract

The coronavirus transcended from epidemic to a pandemic in March 2020. Due to this many countries across the world went into lockdown, affecting daily activities and thereby severely hampering educational activities, specifically in rural areas and in particular in under-developed countries. This paper describes a supervised machine learning algorithm in detail, which provides a comfort rating by accounting the student demographics, available mode of transport, etc., across a given region, to help educational institutes across the world to come up with a suitable plan to restart their activities risk free amidst the pandemic.
