Strategy to Eradicate COVID-19 by Aditya Patil

Stratergy for tracking tracing testing sampling screening and eradicating containing COVID-19

Search Sampling Testing Sanitization and Containment based on Transport Networks 1//Comvert Actual Transportation networks into graphs with cities and major towns and villages and destinations as NODES of the Graph.

Actual Transportation Networks

2//Transportation networks can be primarily classified into following heirarchies : i/National ii/State iii/Districts iv/Cities and Towns and Neighbourhoods v/Villages and Rural Settlements 3//Each level of this heirarchy can be converted or expressed as a Individual graph one being the subset of its parent graph. 4//Using the COVID-19 patient count in every major node in this network of graphs as the NODAL WEIGHTS and THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE NODES as the path length or path cost of this graph we can focus our TRACKING, TRACING, SAMPLING, TESTING, SANITIZATION, LOCKDOWN, MEASURES, TESTING KIT UTILIZATION, PPPE DISTRIBUTION, MEDICAL MANPOWER ETC and efforts as in the same order of nodes as an A*search Algorithm would do to get from the NODE WITH HIGHEST Weight in the graph to the NODE WITH THE LOWEST WEIGHT,every time iterating to the NEXT NODE WITH THE HEIGHEST WEIGHT AND SHORTEST PATH COST from our individual nodes of venture and along the paths joining these nodes at each level of heirarchy of this network of graphs untill all nodes are exhausted within the local domain. 5//This will unify the cost in terms of funds manpower equimpent etc taken to TRACK SANITISE TRACE TEST AND ALL OTHER MEASURES , with the most being focused at NODES with highest weights lowest weight nodes will require low resources and efforts in this graph Also highest probability and number of infected COVID19 patients being in the NODE with highest weights.

INDIA

INDIRA POINT

The state boundaries between Uttarakhand & Uttar Pradesh, Bihar & Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh & Madhya Pradesh have not been verified by the Governments concerned.

The territorial waters of India extend into the sea to a distance of twelve nautical miles measured from the appropriate base line.

The administrative headquarters of Chandigarh, Haryana and Punjab are at Chandigarh.

The external boundaries and coastlines of India agree with the Record/Master Copy certified by Survey of India.

The interstate boundaries amongst Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya shown on the map are as interpreted from the " North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act. 1971," but have yet to be verified.

Search Sampling Testing Sanitization and Containment at Distric City Town and Neighbourhood level 1//Using GIS DATA at District, City , Towns and Neighbourhood levels, conduct classification of clusters based on demographics such as : i//Population Density. ii//Susceptibility based on connectivity with different districts and inter connections within a city distric of different sectors and neighbourhoods as given by syntactic analysis such as depth map. iii//Economic Classess. 2//We can Screen Search Sample Test Sanitize and Contain these clusters/ neighbourhoods/sectors and discover new ones in the same fashion as a BINARY SEARCH would proceed iterating and moving to next cluster untill a new COVID is detected in an untested or non quarantined sectors or else if all sectors have been screened completely at the district or city level. 3//Once a new cluster or a node has been identified we must ADD the new found NODE to the Administrative Division GRAPH and iterate along the procedure mentioned in the section of Containment based in Administrative Divisions with the new updated Administrative Graph. 4//Mobile networks can be leveraged to further acheive the same.

Demographic Screening of COVID-19 Patients 1//By careful screening of new Patients every day we must determine the following : a//if the patient belongs to which section of economy i/weak sections and migrant and workers will be associated with slums and slum markets foot transport and public transport networks ii/lower middle class with small houses and small markets and public transport networks iii/higher and middle class with apartments small bunglows and public and private transport networks air networks iv/VVIPS with exclusive private transport air travel parties big houses international travel history etc. We must make sure to carry forward with lateral priority search sampling screening tracking tracing and quarantine while looking for infections in these specific networks as it is of high probability that more infections will be found along these paths and nodes.So as to how much effort must be focused in such networks will be defined when we add these nodes to the existing graphs and iterate in accordance with the search and containement measures defined in previous sections

Cross-Examining of COVID-19 Patients 2//We must cross examine to determine each day whether the newly detected or reported Patient: i//Was detected due to screening and testing activity conducted in accordance with Containment in Tranportation Networks and Administrative Divisions and Binary Cluster Testing and Screening at District and Neighbourhood level. ii//If patient was detected due to testing and screening conducted in accordance with Containment in Transportation networks and Administrative Divisions and Cluster Testing and Screening at District and Neighbourhood level then we must update Graph Data weights in applicable networks and proceed in accordance which is a reinforcer for the containment stratergy. iii//If patient was detected not due to testing and screening conducted in accordance with Containment in Transportation networks and Administrative Divisions and Cluster Testing and Screening at District and Neighbourhood level and does not identify with any of the nodes under the networks defined previously or clusters then we must add a new node in the appropriate networks and create new cluster and proceed in the fashion mentioned above sections.

Criteria for Resuming Operations 1//Any employer employing more than 50 employees Private or Government and wishes to resume the operations of their business or firm or industry must procure testing kits through private or other sources and ensure the testing of their employees the cost of which can be beared by the employees in part and the employer in part. 2//Employees may be allowed and resume work only when the employer has ensured proof of non-infection via medical testing and a general medical fitness certificate. 3//Any employee who tests positive must be reported to governemnt sources 4//Failing to follow these procedures and demanding employees resume work without registering proof of non-infection via testing will be held so as to be punishable by law. 5//For businesses with fewer than 50 employees the onus of testing and providing proof of non-infection is with the individual employee provided that he or she is able to afford the expenditure of getting tested and registering the same with the goverment through local authorities the proof only upon the provision of which will they be allowed to be exempted from the lockdown directives.Employees below poverty line will be tested by the goverment under COVID-19 relief schemes.

Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of Migrant Workers 1//Migrant workers of the unorganised sector must be assessed for re-employment.

5//If the employee is unable or not eligible to be employed in the private or government sector and unfit to work only then in this case is he or she eligible for monetary assisstance from the 2//If the previous employer wishes to employ its migrant workers again it is free to do so after goverment.This monetary assisstance should be remmited primarily by the State government free testing from the government under COVID-19 relief schemes,provided that the employer is to which the migrant work is a domicle of.If the state goverment is lacking in funding the surable to ensure food,clothing shelther and basic minimum monthly wage for upto three months plus of which can be remitted by the Central government and provided shelter in labour camps and able to verify and generate Qr Code id against Aadhar card with details and and esential services. register the employee with the government : i/ Phone number (optional) if unavailable please assist in generating immediate mobile number 6//If the employee wishes to go back to his native to which he or she is a domicle of then afby tie up with public sector such as jio to provide free mobiles with tentative scheme and all ter document collection verfication the employees home state must arrange transportation to necessary government apps loaded for health screening quarantine tracking and employment collect their domicles and arrange for testing before entry at their respective borders to which finding food distribution and collecting government monetary benefits in a bank account or at states they respectively belong to. a local fund distribution center. ii/ Aadhar card 7//After reaching his or her home state the respective state goverment must iterate points 3 and iii/ Address (optional) 4 respectively after registering proof of non-infection with the central government. iv/ Type of Labour v/ Patient Screening details *Please note few directives are subject to revisions circumstantially and further discussions if vi/ Bank account (optional) if unavailable assisst to generate immediate accounts via representa- implementations are challenged with obstacles or oppositions. tives at labour and homeless camps shelters slums etc via online sources if possible with government or government recognised banks 3//If the previous employee is no longer willing to employ its migrant workers again then it must pay its employees minimum wage for upto 3 months untill which the employees find a new employment.The burden of document collection verification and qr code generation and testing remains with the governement under relief schemes.During this duration the government must assisst these migrant workers to look for a suitable job once they have been declared eligible after document collection and verification.If unable to afford food shelter and clothing the government must arrange for rehabilitative labour camps and community food services or assign them to NGOs.During the period of rehabilitation these reliefs are conditional to these migrant workers provided that they earn their share by contributing in civil service such as in the development or repair of infrastructure or in the combating sanitization and containment of COVID-19 crisis as a whole or at the least contribute towards the operation of the labour camps and food and essential services run by the government.If during this period the employee finds a suitable employer then the employer instead of the government must arrange for the same.Failing or refusing to pay the minimum wage from previous employer will amount to penalisation in annual taxation for the individual or business venture or industry. 4//If the employee is unable to find a employment in the private sector then the government must make provisions if employee is verified to be eligible in the public sector and work towards ontributing in civil service such as in the development or repair of infrastructure or in the medical sector where ever there is a shortage of manpower and hence contributing to the economy.
