Introduction to the Webinar:
Since the SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2019, it
has quickly spread worldwide to infect over 100 million people and claimed over
2 million deaths as of 9 February 2021. Numerous efforts have been investigated
on this novel coronavirus and a variety of control measures have been
implemented by different countries/regions. It is an unprecedented achievement
that several vaccines were developed and authorized for emergency use, within
one year after the first COVID-19 cases were reported. In this talk, I will
review the current evidence about control measures and treatments with the
special focus on interdisciplinary studies between engineering, biological and
medical researchers (such as AI assisted diagnosis/treatment and smart contact
tracking).
