“…This initiative-taking surveillance system must have at least two elements focusing on the epidemic or interepidemic period. A sentinel site/physician collaboration, a fever vigilant structure that uses peripheral health workers, and a sentinel hospital system are some types of active surveillance systems [61][62][63]. The main objective of this surveillance mechanism is to assess and detect disease patterns before there is a rise during the interepidemic period.…”

The provision of blood products to save a life is a noble undertaking for any organization tasked with the duty. In addition to saving millions of lives, blood products pose health risks associated with adverse events. Much has been done to mitigate these challenges, but emerging new infectious diseases pose a public health challenge to both the safety of blood and its availability. The dengue virus an arbovirus is one such virus that is endemic in tropical and subtropical countries. The data emerging from the published papers show that dengue could be a major threat to blood safety and availability in the future. To address these threats, a collaborative approach through one health system is the only avenue to provide a last solution. One health has been implemented as a strategy to mitigate zoonotic diseases and its results are very impressive. This piece of work is a fraction of our larger project that aims to address threats to the dengue virus and blood safety in Kenya and the rest of Africa. In conclusion, adopting one health in the fight against the dengue virus in blood safety will be the best approach to ensure a safer supply of blood products.

“…Currently, detection of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater has been useful in alerting officials to the presence of the virus in their neighborhoods, but faces issues due to the needed concentration of the virus, temperature degradation of the samples, and limitations to the ability of comparing demographics of individuals who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 ( Hart and Halden, 2020 ). In contrast, airports have also been used as sentinel sites ( Chang et al 2020 ). While airports are ideal for capturing data on asymptomatic cases, they lack data on lower income and socioeconomical diverse people needed for supporting public health and equity efforts.…”

“…Nonetheless, the screening process based on fever alone is still a loose criterion for suspected or confirm diagnostic of COVID-19 disease since other health conditions such as having common flu can also show the same symptoms. In a case study in Taiwan, it is reported that only 29.2% of COVID-19 cases were detected in airport arrivals screening [5].…”

Non-contact sensing using radar technologies is a prospective technology in combating pandemic diseases such as the COVID-19. Current literature shows the capability of radar for cardiopulmonary signs detection and for securing social distancing, i.e. to count the number of people in a confined place. Nonetheless, the ability of radar ating frequency, and environments. Besides the different radar approaches and signal processing for reliable sensing, many new challenges for practical applications arise. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art related applications and challenges of radar for combating the pandemic disease. Additionally, as a departure from the conventional approach, radar technique requires some basic explanation. This paper also provides an overview of radar sensing including its physical sensing basis.
