项目摘要

On the 13th of June, a haulage truck driver was found dead in the 32-kilometre queue of trucks at the Busia border between Uganda and Kenya. This bottleneck in regional supply chain is caused by mandatory COVID-19 testing, whose results take 14-26 hours. Waiting for test results not only represents an increased risk in COVID-19 transmission to communities but also outbreak of water borne and food borne diseases. Critically, such delays in the supply of goods and medicines for land locked countries further threaten the health and wellbeing of these populations. To mitigate this problem, the Ministry of Health of Uganda proposes to test and allow drivers continue with journeys, however, this would require a quicker approach of tracing drivers who test positive, and profile their attributable transmission risk.To address this limitation, we propose to develop and test digital contact tracing technology tailored to the haulage industry. This approach provides a unique opportunity to harness the input of users, characteristics of the haulage sector, support of government, technology firms and academia to maximise uptake and utility of such tools in a developing country context. Critically the tool will be open source, which allows for simultaneous testing of its utility inother parts of the world. In Uganda, the technology will provide the Ministry of health information on location, an alert system for cases, at-risk drivers as well as expected volume of traffic at checkpoints. This strengthens public health responses to COVID-19 and improves regional flow of supply chain

6月13日，在乌干达和肯尼亚之间的布西亚边境，一名运输卡车司机被发现死在长达32公里的卡车队列中。区域供应链的这一瓶颈是由强制性 COVID-19 检测造成的，检测结果需要 14-26 小时。等待检测结果不仅意味着 COVID-19 向社区传播的风险增加，而且还意味着水源性疾病和食源性疾病爆发的风险增加。至关重要的是，向内陆国家供应商品和药品的这种延误进一步威胁到这些人口的健康和福祉。为了缓解这个问题，乌干达卫生部建议进行测试并允许司机继续行程，但是，这需要更快地追踪测试呈阳性的司机，并分析其可归因的传播风险。为了解决这一限制，我们建议开发和测试适合运输行业的数字接触追踪技术。这种方法提供了一个独特的机会，可以利用用户的意见、运输行业的特点、政府、技术公司和学术界的支持，最大限度地提高发展中国家对此类工具的采用和利用。重要的是，该工具将是开源的，这样就可以在世界其他地方同时测试其实用性。在乌干达，该技术将为卫生部提供有关位置、病例警报系统、高危司机以及检查站预计交通量的信息。这加强了针对 COVID-19 的公共卫生应对措施并改善了供应链的区域流动
