As we came across in earlier chapters, during the time of worldwide lockdown, various sectors like industry, healthcare, and agriculture are facing a lot of difficulty in meeting the basic needs of the people due to issues identified in supply chain management. Apart from addressing the discussed problems, governments have various other issues to address, such as enforcing the proper lockdown among the people; providing the citizens with basic necessities like food, groceries, and vegetables, from the retailers; enforcing and monitoring law and order during the lockdown period pertaining to areas like transportation, markets, shops, public gatherings, and medical facilities; and identification and treatment of people suffering from coronavirus attack. Apart from these general issues, there were some other challenges faced that attracted attention such as blocking of false messages generated, related to COVID-19, etc. The chapter aims at addressing these issues using various technologies like drones for monitoring activity, AI technology for planning and prediction in order to curtail the growth rate of coronavirus infections using algorithms, etc. |
