Smart Quarantine: Anti-Covid multichannel strategy

Smart_quarantine_CZ.jpg

Innovative response

A multi-channel strategy to move from a general lock-down due to COVID-19 spreading prevention to more normal life an economic activity. This strategy includes:
- call centre software and call centre operators to offload auxiliary calls;
- “memory maps” based on the location data from mobile operators and credit card payment data from banks;
- a contact-tracing mobile application “eRouska”.

This complex national solution was built as a non-profit project, piloted in two regions and implemented country-wide. Fortunately, due to a better epidemic situation in the country, the solution is not yet applied to its full potential.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

The system leads to early detection, testing and isolation of potentially infected people. In case of a high number of simultaneously infected people, this approach helps regional sanitary stations to speed up and refine their procedures. It extends a traditional epidemiological contact-tracing process.
