通过追踪传染轨迹追踪COVID-19
Tracking COVID-19 by Tracking Infectious Trajectories
摘要：
如今，冠状病毒大流行已经并仍在造成大量死亡和感染者。尽管世界各国政府都采取了严厉的措施来减缓病毒的传播（例如，旅行限制，暂停所有体育、社会和经济活动，禁止旅行，保持社交距离等），许多人已经死亡，更多的人仍然处于危险之中。事实上，最近进行的一项研究~ \cite{ref2}报告称，中国79%的确诊感染是由无症状的无证患者引起的。在同样的背景下，在许多其他国家，由于冠状病毒在出现症状之前需要几天时间，据报道，已知的感染人数并不代表实际感染人数（预计实际人数要高得多）。也就是说，无症状患者是冠状病毒大规模快速传播的主要因素，也是导致各国政府对这一危急局势失去控制的主要原因。为了有助于补救这一全球大流行病，在本文中，我们提出了一个物联网（IoT）调查系统，该系统专门用于发现无证患者和传染性场所。目标是帮助当局对高污染场所进行消毒，并对没有明显症状的人进行隔离。拟议的系统还可以确定与受感染或疑似患者有过密切接触的所有人员。因此，可以实现可疑病例的快速隔离和对任何大流行传播的更有效控制。
英文摘要：
Nowadays, the coronavirus pandemic has and is still causing large numbers of deaths and infected people. Although governments all over the world have taken severe measurements to slow down the virus spreading (e.g., travel restrictions, suspending all sportive, social, and economic activities, quarantines, social distancing, etc.), a lot of persons have died and a lot more are still in danger. Indeed, a recently conducted study~\cite{ref2} has reported that 79\% of the confirmed infections in China were caused by undocumented patients who had no symptoms. In the same context, in numerous other countries, since coronavirus takes several days before the emergence of symptoms, it has also been reported that the known number of infections is not representative of the real number of infected people (the actual number is expected to be much higher). That is to say, asymptomatic patients are the main factor behind the large quick spreading of coronavirus and are also the major reason that caused governments to lose control over this critical situation. To contribute to remedying this global pandemic, in this paper, we propose an IoT (Internet of Things) investigation system that was specifically designed to spot both undocumented patients and infectious places. The goal is to help the authorities to disinfect high-contamination sites and confine persons even if they have no apparent symptoms. The proposed system also allows determining all persons who had close contact with infected or suspected patients. Consequently, rapid isolation of suspicious cases and more efficient control over any pandemic propagation can be achieved.
