• Abstract: The global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is currently putting a massive strain on the world's critical infrastructures. With healthcare systems and internet service providers already struggling to provide reliable service, some operators may, intentionally or unintentionally, lever out privacy-protecting measures to increase their system's efficiency in fighting the virus. Moreover, though it may seem all encouraging to see the effectiveness of authoritarian states in battling the crisis, we, the authors of this paper, would like to raise the community's awareness towards developing more effective means in battling the crisis without the need to limit fundamental human rights. To analyze the current situation, we are discussing and evaluating the steps corporations and governments are taking to condemn the virus by applying established privacy research.

  We analyze the privacy features in national contact tracing COVID-19 applications considering their intrinsic characteristics. As we believe contact tracing will continue to be employed as part of the strategy for the current and potential future pandemics, we present key research challenges.

  We develop Bayesian inference methods to estimate the risk that an individual is infected. We propose to use probabilistic risk estimation in order to optimize testing and quarantining strategies for the control of an epidemic. Our approaches translate into fully distributed algorithms that only require communication between individuals who have recently been in contact.

  A primary indicator of success in the fight against COVID-19 is avoiding stress on critical care infrastructure and services. There are also secondary considerations for success: mitigating economic damage; curbing the spread of misinformation, improving morale, and preserving a sense of control. Here, we focus on the effective use of readily available technology to improve the primary and secondary success criteria for the fight against SARS-CoV-2.

  We use the SEIR epidemiological model to represent the evolution of the virus COVID-19 over time in the population. The sequences of actions (confinement, self-isolation, two-meter distance or not taking restrictions) are evaluated according to a reward system. We prove that our methodology is a valid tool to discover actions governments can take to reduce the negative effects of a pandemic in both senses.
