[R] Dependent Variable in Logistic Regression

Dear friends,

Hope you are doing great. I want to fit a logistic regression in R, where
the dependent variable is the covid status (I used 1 for covid positives,
and 0 for covid negatives), but when I ran the glm, R complains that I
should make the dependent variable a factor.

What would be more advisable, to keep the dependent variable with 1s and
0s, or code it as yes/no and then make it a factor?

Any guidance will be greatly appreciated,

Best regards,

Paul
