PASSAGE ONE
__________ plays major role in fight against COVID-19
①
From interactive maps detailing new infection cases to big data analysis
platforms used to find close contacts of the COVID-19 patients, big data has
played an important role during the prevention and control of the epidemic.
②
It not only allows the public to grasp the changing situation in a timely
manner and take action accordingly, but also helps the authorities to make
informed decisions and
optimize
1
the allocation of resources.
③
A big data analysis platform used
to find close contacts of the COVID-19
patients or suspected cases has received
more than 150 million
hits since it was
launched on February 8.
④
By inputting names and ID card
numbers after scanning QR codes, individual users can check whether they took
the same flights, trains or buses as those with confirmed or suspected cases.
⑤
This is just one example how big data is helping the public to prevent
the COVID-19 in a more scientific, efficient way.
⑥
Some internet and tech companies are also using AI and big data
analysis to extract valuable information that can help prevent and control the
epidemic.
⑦
The development of the epidemic is closely related to the movement of
people. Therefore, a grasp of
the latter
is important for the analysis and
prediction of
the former

handsets

Huanggang, E'zhou, Xianning and Jingzhou. Outside Hubei, the cities that
received most passengers from Wuhan include three in Henan Province, and two
2
in Hunan Province, both central China.
⑨
Big data also showed that the number of people leaving Wuhan peaked
on January 23.
⑩
What's more, using Gaode maps, which has covered 10,145 fever
outpatients
in 297 cities across the country, as well as 2,071
designated
3
hospitals nationwide for the treatment of the epidemic, one can find the closest
outpatient or hospital and get timely treatment.

China's three major
telecom carriers
4

analysis. An engineer from China Mobile said that the company can predict the
flow of people
in the wake of

the Spring Festival holiday through analysis of
previous years' data, which can help strengthen targeted prevention measures.
