• Train: A virtual Healthcare Training Portal will be made to help small towns, focus on making a virtual hospital where patients and doctors are able to contact each other through video calling rather than visiting hospitals.
• Trace: In this, a Self-Quarantine app to be made to track automatically the GPS and mobile tower location of people continuously under self-quarantine time based on the app in a way that they don’t feel like a jail.
• Test and Treat: Management of COVID patients are done in this part in the benefit of identifying patients through pre-identification and centralized epidemiological investigation of suspected cases based on their travel history, also contact being traced out through phone records.

Economic and Social Impact Assessment

Various sectors losing their potential and an unseen gap is highly increasing for their survival rate, that is,

• Deaths getting increases due to getting no treatment or large time taken to get a treatment which is in result to huge manpower.

During this pandemic, the first and foremost requirement is of the number 1 phase, that is, Pandemic Management and Post-Lockdown Planning, for which the government is involving corporates to make some web-based systems that help in the controlling of the COVID-19.

You can conclude this by these following points:

• App is currently In the process of making to restrict people in self-isolation and the government can look over them on a 24/7 basis.

• Drones are required on a high basis to control or check over the people if they are in-home or not.
• Attendance based management system is in demand to enter in the essential industries without fingerprint or any touch gesture, it has been ongoing made through the facial recognition and high AI 3D based techniques over cloud-based ongoing management. It also included temperature detection to help in the early identification of Corona patient.

India has control the situation of COVID with these strategies being taken already to lesser the impact of the Corona Virus. And one of the main reasons for this early strategical implementation is that India has fewer medical facilities and healthcare equipments compared to other countries with a large population.

Therefore, as the saying goes – ‘Necessity is the key to invention’ but here the saying changes to ‘Necessity is the key to early implementation’.
