Social Health Protection During the COVID-Pandemic Using IoT

Brief Layout Of The Corona Virus Across The World

In the moment, it has been just over a year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed millions of lives, and hence, a question needs to be posed in this circumstance as to how the pandemic has ceased our normal lifestyle in the past 365 plus days. In this context, the pandemic has not only affected a few countries, but has affected every country in varying degrees. Over the last year, the global COVID-19 epidemic has been tracked using data on cases and deaths from around the world. We now know, however, that these only give us an incomplete view. The present epidemic emphasizes the need to priorities public health investments. The epidemic serves as a sobering reminder that early identification and prompt reaction by a robust and effective public health system may save lives and mitigate economic calamities. There is widespread expectation that the epidemic will act as a wake-up call, a catalyst for, or a forerunner of, positive change. For far too long, health has not been given the importance it deserves—public health has been chronically underfunded, with budget allocations hovering around 1.3 percent of GDP, resulting in inadequate basic health care. Health spending, particularly at the primary care level, must be significantly raised in the near future—much more than the 2.5 percent of GDP envisaged by the National Health Policy (2017) for 2022.
