Introduction According to AJAYI, O. O (2009), ICT can be defined as a TECHNOLOGICAL means of COLLECTING (inputting/gathering), COLLATING (processing/analyzing), and CONVEYING (outputting/transferring) INFORMATION via TECHNOLOGY. In the context of a global pandemic (COVID 19) which has hit the entire world and scientists seems almost defeated on the most effective way to reduce the spread of this deadly Monster, ICT has played effective role in ensuring that this disease’s means of infection is reduced as explained below; A)      ...

ICT is no more seen as a support to business, but rather a strategic asset for many organisations. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how important it is to have ICT infrastructures and tools readily available. Organisations and even countries with advanced IT systems have used technology not only to directly support public health initiatives but also to keep other functions of society from closing down altogether. In short, ICT is now being used to speed up the development of vaccines, anticipate and predict the spread of the virus, keep the public updated with live information, making the running of economic and educational ...

How can you use Technology to reduce Covid-19? Technology; is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in health care for this case. COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Covid-19 has a high transmissibility and there is no effective vaccine. It’s now a global pandemic. Governments can control it by early surveillance, testing, contact tracing and quarantine. Clinical management AI :  A cloud-based AI-assisted CT service detects COVID-19 pneumonia cases in China. This technology processes CT images in seconds, differentiating COVID-19 from other lung diseases and speeding up the diagnostic process substantially. An open-source deep convolutional neural network design available to clinicians across the globe, can quickly detect COVID-19 cases from other lung diseases on chest x-rays. These prediction models can guide clinical decision-making and resource allocation, identifying ...

Application of technology towards reducing Covid-19. Technology This is the application of scientific doctrines / disciplines to the practical aims of human life with inherent will of change and manipulation of the environment as per the human perceptions. Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a novel coronavirus now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2. This was formerly called 2019-nCoV), which was first identified amid an outbreak of respiratory illness cases in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. It was initially reported to the WHO on December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global health emergency. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, its first such designation since declaring H1N1 influenza a pandemic in 2009. The COVID-19 infection is transmitted by people carrying the virus. The disease can be spread from person to person t...

           How can you use Technology to reduce Covid-19? Here I will start by highlighting on what is Technology and Covid-19 as shown below; Technology is the set of knowledge, skills, experience and techniques through which humans change, transform and use our environment in order to create tools, machines, products and services that meet our needs and desires, and technology is classified into 2 group shown below.          Hard technologies - are those that give us tangible goods.         Soft technologies - are those that give us intangibles.   Coronavirus (Covid-19) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from person to person and one can become infected by coming into close contact (about 6 feet or two arm lengths) with a person who has Covid-19, and through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks one can be in...
