Indeed, the impact of the coronavirus on various technologies is no less than its impact on the stock market and social life. In this complex situation, a number of solutions are offered by various technologies to help people as much as possible.

In particular, it is noteworthy that in China, if a flight number is entered, a service will be launched to determine whether a patient with COVID-19 has flown on the flight. If a person has flown in the last few days since the outbreak was announced, there is a possibility that some of the passengers on board may have been infected. With the new service, one can check that none of the pilots are infected. After all, the plane is a narrow place where there is a high probability of infection, and people are really getting important information through this service.

If a person is quarantined by the Hangzhou Health Department to be quarantined at home, his messengers are given a red mark. And he can no longer perform any social behavior. That is, he will not be sold a bus ticket, will not be allowed in the kitchen, and so on. The purpose is to contribute to the social distance of the individual. Although this system is considered to be a digital surveillance of the population and is not well received, it can be expected to have some positive effects in a complex epidemiological situation.

Interestingly, this situation allows the field of distance online education to be tested and to prove its positive aspects. In China alone, more than 100 million students have been transferred to online education due to quarantine. Even classes, such as physical education, which require physical presence during training, were successfully conducted at home, and students passed the 100-meter running norms by running indoors.

In China, 426 different online classrooms have been set up for students on various Internet platforms due to quarantine at home. Yandex has also announced the launch of its online learning services. Strange as it may seem, it is understandable that the idea that COVID-19 coronavirus infection is acting as a “dirty duck” for online learning platforms is not in vain.

SenseTime has announced that surveillance cameras have developed an algorithm that can identify a person even when wearing a mask. This was to help identify those who tried to hide from quarantine. In Hangzhou, the social media pages of citizens who need to be quarantined are being marked in red. The most popular social network in China is WeChat, through which you can perform almost all social movements - get a ticket for a bus or train, make payments in public catering establishments and shops, and much more.

Other technology owners are offering their services to governments and health care providers, as well as ordinary people, to alleviate the situation as much as possible during the coronavirus. For example, one of the founders of Microsoft, a charity funded by Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world, began to develop kits that can detect the presence of human coronavirus at home. Of course, this does not mean that the person who bought the kit can diagnose COVID-19 on their own. According to the instructions, a person collects his biological material (mucus or something else) in a package and sends it to a nearby laboratory.

Google and Facebook, meanwhile, are urging U.S. agencies to be aware of the infectious situation in their area according to geolocation and to analyze the movement of potentially at-risk patients based on geolocation data to be considered as one of the measures to prevent the spread of the virus. offers. While this is widely seen in the West as a breach of privacy, it should be acknowledged that it will be a great help to prevent the outbreak from becoming more tragic.

Finally, the help Apple is offering in the fight against coronavirus is also noteworthy. It can use the AppleWatch to measure blood oxygen levels and send the results to the owner of the watch and again to the online epidemiology monitoring center. This is not to say that it has not been well received by Apple users due to the disclosure of personal biometric data to third parties.

In Uzbekistan, too, large-scale events and humanitarian actions have been launched on the Internet. In particular, Khan Academy offers its services from free distance learning platforms, Hilal eBook programs also offer free downloads for all books, the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education remotely monitors the level of knowledge of students during the holidays launched the eduuz_online project on the Telegram social network to support. In addition, due to the temporary suspension of public catering establishments due to quarantine, many delivery service representatives are able to provide a wider range of services.

Although almost all of the above are technological solutions that are forced to emerge due to the coronavirus, it is to be hoped that they will retain their positive aspects in the post-pandemic period. In particular, distance learning and online learning platforms are expected to develop under this pretext. This can be seen in the post-pandemic era as a very powerful helper and competitor to the traditional education system.

We hope that in the current difficult conditions, online classrooms and distance learning platforms for Uzbek students will be developed in a timely and thorough manner, and will continue to help our children to learn independently. can be.
