Coronavirus disease is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. The COVID 19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person cough or sneezes so it is important that you also practice respiratory etiquette.

1. ENGINEERING INTERVENTION TO
FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 AND
HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT

2. COVID-19:
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly
discovered coronavirus.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or
discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s
important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by
coughing into a flexed elbow).
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to
moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.
Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are
more likely to develop serious illness.

3. ENGINEERING ROLES IN COVID-19:
Marisa Sterling, President-elect of Professional Engineers Ontario,has
generated discussion among their engineering collegues about their role in
pandemic.
Her discussion started to play a major role in pandemic through
manufacturing supplies for frontline medical workers.
Engineers are working on maintaining the integrity of the supply chain for
getting equipment such as masks to where they’re needed, and getting the
right chemicals together to make vaccines and therapeutics, and those come
from all over the world.
Artificial intelligence processes a lot of information to identify promising
routes to therapeutic interventions.

4. The speed and scale of diagnostic tests for COVID-19 have improved greatly,
and engineers have brought artificial intelligence, automation, and process
control to industry’s development of those diagnostics. The increase in testing
capability is due in great measure to these engineering tools.
Dionne Aleman, engineering professor at the University of Toronto,
has modelled pandemic spread.
Aleman is an expert in the field of operations research, focusing primarily
on applications in human health.Her model focuses on creating the ability to
model heterogeneous people. This takes into account unique transmission and
susceptibility rates based on age and health status as well as unique
behaviours.

5. HEALTHCARE ROLES BY WHO:
“The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded all of us of the vital role health
workers play to relieve suffering and save lives,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom
Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.
On World Patient Safety Day, WHO reminds governments that they have a
legal and moral responsibility to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of
health workers.
In September 2020, the World Health Organization, with the advice of the
CSCS Task Force, commissioned an assessment of the Covid-19 Supply
Chain System (CSCS) focused on three main areas: strategy, implementation
and moving forward.
