| We support the countries to track the flow of people and trace the movement of COVID-19 infected patients together with those who had direct contacts with the patients (reported by public health offices) using mobile phone data (Call Detail Record (CDR) data). An open analysis software “Mobipack” is provided to the countries with technical support and on-line hand-on training so that the countries can do all by themselves with a cluster of commodity PCs. Technical supports include computing indicators, aggregation for statistics, and visualization for informing the spread and trend of COVID-19 infections and analyzing the impacts of COVID-19 and intervention. The CDR data is processed on the country’s premise. Any identifiers are encrypted in an irreversible manner and no personally identifiable information is included in the data used for processing. |
