For most up-to-date information on cases / deaths etc due to Corona Virus ( country-wise ) , just click on :
It is high time , India Government introduces something similar which provides up-to-date data , State-wise Such a DASHBOARD can also be made to display :
" In each CITY-TOWN , how many persons are running HIGH TEMPERATURE ( first SYMPTOM of Corona ) ? " ,
if following gets implemented : Sankalp – Sanyanm – Shastra ………………..https://lnkd.in/

Mussolini ( ironically , from Italy ) is supposed to have once said :
" If we want to dig a well in the village , we can call a meeting and ask opinion of all the villagers but if we have to declare a WAR , then only ONE PERSON has to decide "
That Italy has declared a nation-wide SHUT-DOWN , to contain Covid-19, is not going to help us .
India is too big a country to shut-down for a long period
What we URGENTLY need is to identify ( from among 1370 million citizen ) , those ONE PERCENT ( 13.7 million ), who are running high temperature and, therefore, need to be administered VIRUS TEST
Here , I have suggested a readily available TECHNOLOGY
But where is that ONE PERSON to declare war on Covid - 19 ?

Taiwan's New 'Electronic Fence' for Quarantines Leads Wave of Virus Monitoring
Extract :
Ø Taiwan, which has won global praise for its effective action against the coronavirus, is rolling out a mobile phone-based "electronic fence" that uses location-tracking to ensure people who are quarantined stay in their homes.
Ø Governments around the world are combining technology and human efforts to enforce quarantines that require people who have been exposed to the virus to stay in their homes, but Taiwan's system is believed to be the first to use mobile phone tracking for that purpose.
Ø The system monitors phone signals to alert police and local officials if those in home quarantine move away from their address or turn off their phones. Jyan said authorities will contact or visit those who trigger an alert within 15 minutes
Ø In Hong Kong, location-tracking wristbands are given to those put under quarantine.
Ø In Singapore, the government uses text messages to contact people, who must click on a link to prove they are at home.
Ø Thailand has rolled out a mobile app that anyone arriving at an airport must download to help monitor where they have been in the event that they test positive for the virus.
Ø Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, this week also launched a mobile app to help track cases, and it could be used to enforce quarantines.
Ø Other countries, including South Korea and Israel, are using satellite-based phone tracking for so-called contact tracing to see where infected individuals might have passed SARS-CoV-2 to others.
Ø China has used a wide range of methods to monitor the health and whereabouts of people and enforce restrictions on movement.

Dear Dr HarshVardhanji,
In the list of the countries mentioned above, other than China, all the rest are very small ( population-wise ) compared to India
For them, mobile-based tracking ( of quarantined persons ), could be an appropriate technology
But , our problem is not so much about “ quarantining “ a few thousand citizen , after they test “ positive “ for Covid-19
Our problem is :
To begin with, from among a huge population ( of 1370 million persons ) , how to “ identify “ those one percent ( 13.7 million ), who are running high temperature and need to be tested, urgently ?
The only way :
Thermal Imaging software embedded into roadside CCTV cameras ( with Infrared Night Vision ) all over the cities / towns ( or embedded into cameras mounted on Drones ) + embedded Facial Recognition Software + Software to link each captured face with Aadhar Database ( photo + Biometric ) of all citizen
This combination of hardware and software, will instantly “ identify / detect “any citizen running a high temperature ( as soon as his face is visible on CCTV / Drone based camera ) and
,
# Send him SMS on his mobile to go for VIRUS TEST at the nearest test lab ( giving
address of that lab ). No need for any separate “authorization “ from anyone . And
no payment of testing fees ( Govt to DBT to private labs , upon uploading of TEST
RESULTS on Govt Health Portal )
# Send SMS to the concerned lab , giving full details of the person
# Send SMS to all other concerned Government Authorities / Health Portals
# Repeated “ face image capture “ by different cameras at different times and
different locations, will track the journey of such an individual . This path will show
up on the Dashboard of the CENTRAL CONTROL CENTRE for COVID [ 4C ]

Dear Sir,
The required technology is available off-the-shelf
All that is needed is your GREEN SIGNAL to our Scientists / Technocrats and those Private Sector Companies , which have been installing road-side CCTV cameras for past decade
In an all out war , we cannot afford the luxury of inviting tenders !
In this “Relay Race “, each player need not grasp the baton and then ask of himself :
“ To run or not to run ? “
Any delay in implementing my suggestion and Covid-19 will outrun us !
