An MDRU based on ITU-T Recommendation L.392, which is designed for providing emergency telecommunication infrastructure in the event of telecommunication disruption due to a large-scale disaster, can be used as a temporary information infrastructure when citizens were restricted for outing. MDRU can provide COVID-19 preventive and/or relief support information to mildly ill persons in temporary medical accommodation facilities and/or to unprivileged area in developing countries, in order to reduce the disparity of information and to reduce the anxiety of residents. Since MDRU is designed for disasters, it can be set up in a few minutes, the service area can be easily expanded by wireless LAN, and the same service as ordinary telecommunication infrastructure can be provided by connecting to an external telecommunication network.
