High-tech joins battle against virus in Yantai

Advanced technologies including big data, cloud computing, and AI have been widely used to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia in Yantai, a coastal city in East China’s Shandong province.

In early February, the city launched a big data platform for epidemic prevention and control.

The platform will list detailed information on confirmed cases, suspected cases, personnel under quarantine, and peoples from outside Yantai.

Up to now, the platform has collected basic information on more than 100,000 people and is providing data support for epidemic prevention and control.
