Smart lockdowns are aimed at restricting maximum no of IPs in a targeted manner to an identified hotspot through App, with a view to contain/ retard local COVID-19 spread and break the transmission cycle of disease. Our disease trajectory has entered a critical phase, and only our proactivity can slow the spread considerably, within coming weeks. City wide lockdowns, though administratively convenient, are economically/ socio-economically unsustainable and therefore not practicable. Differentiated approach within a city is possible due to identified variability in disease prevalence in various areas. Smart lockdowns therefore offer a balanced approach to limit the spread under the circumstances.

NCOC conceived a well structured IT based national framework for credible health resource mapping. Resource Mgmt System (RMS) was rolled out on 31 May 20 and currently spans about 4000 covid/ non-covid hospitals of the entire country. The system facilitates decision making in terms of estblishment of correct need assessment and capacity enhancement. It also energizes public utility app Pak Negheban which provides its users, location based guidance to nearest covid treating hospitals.

Provides real-time visibility of hospitals based on location and colour coded status as per availability of beds/ vents. Pak Neheyban app is being used by various emergency response organisations.

Integrated Disease Information Management System (IDIMS) developed by National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) forms the national repository for all COVID related data. IDIMS is integrated with all provincial system for near real-time data exchange. The system forms the basis for advance data analytics for disease projections and identification of smart lockdowns.

First effort to establish a national central database for estimated more than 275,000 educational institutes of all kinds currently running across country. NCOC took the lead role in designing the system in collaboration with development team from NITB. EIMS has multipurpose utility as comprehensive and updated statistics of educational institutions would be available at national level. SITREP and SOP compliance data regarding COVID-19 is being updated by provinces on daily basis for necessary decision making at provincial and national level.
