COVID-19 preparedness & response

In response to the global pandemic Thales has developed and integrated new features and external applications into its Security Digital Platform using the power.

 Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented crisis. Cities, governments and states worldwide face severe challenges in keeping people safe. The measures taken to control the spread of the virus (lockdown, test and trace, restriction of movement, etc.) are exceptional, and require law enforcement bodies to adapt their systems, surveillance methods and resource management.

In Thales we turn cutting-edge technologies into imaginative and resilient people-centred solutions, giving our clients confidence in challenging situations that create uncertainty.

A major health crisis can cause widespread unpredictable disruption which the authorities may address with measures including:

• Preventive measures for establishing and ensuring compliance with mobility restrictions
• Coordination across health authorities and state law enforcement bodies, among others, for a concerted, comprehensive crisis response
• Management of critical resources such as hospital beds, medical staff, health resources and volunteers
• Real-time public information
• Tracing and detecting positive cases and persons at risk
• Measures for selective control of lockdown according to people’s state of health

The coronavirus pandemic that continues to spread worldwide demands a fresh wave of innovation to respond to this unprecedented event. Many health care facilities face capacity issues and need to optimize efficiency while ensuring safety for patients and staff members.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a powerful solution for organizations facing these challenges. RPA automates repetitive, high-volume manual processes involving multiple applications and process steps. This enables rapid response—bots can enter the data from a vast number of spreadsheets into, for example, an epidemiological database, in a matter of seconds.

The bots in RPA are made purely of software code—no plastic or metal bodies are involved, let alone complex humanoid shapes. Developing and deploying an RPA solution is a COTS-based software development effort; organizations must incorporate their operational and governance processes.

Bots increase accuracy and quality across high-volume workloads, enable standardization, increase capacity and drive down costs

Even as COVID-19 continues to unfold, the world must learn from its lessons—and those of past health emergencies—and come together in solidarity to forge a stronger global health system as we strive to build a more inclusive and resilient future. Doing so will entail the enhancement of global health functions including—but not limited to—those vital to the control of epidemics and pandemics, as well as their diagnosis and treatment. Most immediately, international cooperation should facilitate public access to data and research on COVID-19, and seek to ensure accessibility and affordability for all once a vaccine is available.Public goods—such as street lighting, regulations and national defence—meet salient needs of society and play a crucial role in making it more secure. However, people can benefit from public goods without paying for them (a “free rider” problem), leading to a lack of incentives to produce them by profit-seeking private providers. Viewed from a different angle, public goods have significant positive “spill-over effects” valuable to a community—above and beyond benefits to individual consumers—that are not reflected by their market value. As a result, public goods have typically been underproduced by the market, with Governments taking up responsibility for their provision domestically.

The COVID‑19 M&E Framework aims to assess performance 
and to provide recorded information to support analysis 
of progress against the SPRP1
 and the related SPRP 
Strategy Update.2
The main objective is to establish and maintain a set 
of global and country indicators to support: strategic 
thinking, operational tracking, real-time evidence-based 
decision‑making, and to ensure advocacy and transparency 
between donors, UN agencies, and partners involved 
in the response. This will allow WHO, other UN agencies, 
and partners to track progress against goals and to correct 
approaches and actions should this be necessary.
The specific objectives are to:
• Monitor COVID‑19 response activities by measuring 
key input, output, and outcome indicators at both 
global and country levels;
• Produce systematic assessments and analyses 
of response activities;
• Compare activity results against the epidemiological 
progression of the pandemic;
• Help the prioritization of response activities and inform 
decision-making amongst all partners; 
• Support and accelerate transparency and 
information sharing;
• Support preparedness and response planning;
• Produce evidence for operational reviews and 
lessons learned.

 COVID-19 crisis has resulted in widespread instability across global financial markets. This
global impact of the crisis is a unique event in history as there has been no prior instance of
multiple countries imposing lockdowns to check the spread of a pandemic. Unlike the 2008
financial crisis, which impacted developed markets more than emerging economies, the current
crisis is global in nature, more unpredictable and without precedent.
As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, financial markets have become volatile across all asset classes,
both cash and derivatives – equities, rates, foreign exchange, commodities and credit. Markets
have witnessed both crashes and rallies with unpredictable swings across asset prices and credit
downgrades, resulting in financial instability and a liquidity crisis for many organisations. Such
a scenario is likely to continue as global financial markets look to take gradual steps towards
recovery. In our view, this period of turmoil in global financial markets will pose a challenge to the
banking and financial services (FS) industry from a financial risk management perspective. The
FS industry is expected to face challenges on multiple fronts such as capital, credit slowdown,
excess liquidity, defaults, physical assets versus digitisation, and low to negative rates.
