The coronavirus emanated in Wuhan city of China, in the last month of 2019 and was even announced as a global threat. Social media could be an utterly noteworthy supply of facts during a time of crisis. User-generated texts yield perception into users' minds withinside the direction of such times, giving us insights into their critiques in addition to moods. This venture examines Twitter messages (tweets) regarding people's sentiment on the unconventional coronavirus. The essential aim of sentiment evaluation is the origin of human emotion from messages or tweets. This venture is geared toward using numerous gadgets studying type algorithms to expect the people's reception of the worldwide pandemic by reading their tweets on Twitter. In the course of this paper, we are testing our dataset on five different classifiers, namely Random Forest, Logistic regression, Multinomial naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbor, and Support vector machines classifiers. Together with precision rankings and balanced accuracy rankings, metrics are offered to gauge the fulfilment of the numerous algorithms implemented. The K-Nearest Neighbor classifier has given the highest precision score while the Logistic Regression classifier gives the highest recall, F1, accuracy and balanced accuracy scores.
