We note that the COVID-19 Task Force includes scientists and recognized data-driven and data-driven advice and decisions. The role of scientific advice has been remarkable in helping governments respond. This important step forward requires continuity. Multidisciplinary advice from health researchers and practitioners, social scientists, economists, lawyers and modellers will provide a better understanding of relationships and potential impacts. Big data, artificial intelligence, open science and citizen data can accelerate today`s responses. Countries such as Singapore, South Korea and China have attributed their aggressive surveillance to the use of these technologies. 18. World Health Organization.

These differences are not easily explained, but they may be, at least in part, the result of partisan encouragement in the face of weak beliefs, rather than differences in sincere, evidence-based opinions. This interpretation of the gaps in knowledge about political parties coincides with the arguments of political scientists John Bullock and Gabriel Lenz. If they`re right, it could give people with different, prior, but poorly grounded beliefs the same information to reduce differences of opinion or political preferences — or at least have similar effects. We test this in experiments to measure how information affects vaccine acceptance, preference for containment policies, and expected consumption of services that are not at home. We find compelling evidence that information influences opinions in each of these areas. Despite potential conflicts with Sharia law, clerics in several Muslim countries have accepted vaccines that use impure substances such as pork gelatin in their production process. They concluded that the gelatin in vaccines is halal because it has undergone hydrolysis that purifies it under an Islamic legal concept called istihalah (perfect change) (2, 30). Istihalah refers to modification of a physico-chemical nature to transform an unacceptable Haram product into an acceptable halal form (31).
This view is based on the principle of “transformation” in Sharia law, which is applied to the production of vinegar from wine (2). Vaccines become acceptable when the impure component is completely transformed into a new substance different from its origin. Transformation of impure substances by further processing, e.g. Filtration to make them negligible in the final product is also used in other drugs such as heparin (porcine enzymes) and rotavirus vaccine (porcine trypsin). In Muslim jurisprudence, these processes reach istihalah and make the final product authorized for Muslim use (2, 32, 33). Experimental conditions generate a wide range of opinions, even within political groups. The percentage of Biden voters who support reopening schools for in-person learning ranges from 43% to 60%, depending on which segment of news we asked them to read before asking them. Signaling to people that new cases are at record levels has reduced support more than any other group, while telling the story of the American Academy of Pediatrics` recommendation for personal schooling has garnered the most support. The range was just as wide for Trump voters (64% to 80%). The implication is that one can easily cause massive gaps in public opinion (a gap of 37 percentage points) if Biden`s supporters receive only alarming news and Trump supporters receive only reassuring news. However, the differences could be as high as 4 percentage points if voters are exposed to messages that go against their preconceived prejudices.

For now, despite criticism of not being agile enough, the Ministry of Health is playing a crucial role as the national spokesperson for COVID19. From February to February 31. As of March 2020, at least 6777 tests were carried out for Covid-19 suspects, of which 1677 were confirmed positive. By the first half of March 2020, only 1100 tests had been carried out and 117 confirmed positive. While as of March 16, 2020, at least 5600 tests have been conducted, including 1560 confirmed positives. Overall, the testing was very slow, as the government was quite passive in conducting diagnostic tests.
