        According to Economia e Fnanza, Italia, TGS has also provided a software application for plotting a map of high-risk areas based on the location statistics of the infected patients. The software application is available only to governmental departments and authorized companies, and patients' privacy is protected. At present, this solution has been submitted to MIUR (Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca), which will sign an agreement with Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani (Anci) for allowing municipal administration to use the solution. Some regions have already been using the software application by themselves.

It is stipulated in the announcement that China will further rectify the order of medical materials export. From April 26 onwards, enterprises that export products that are required to get certification or registration to applicable foreign standards, including SARS-CoV-2 test kits, medical masks, medical protection suit, ventilators, and IR thermometers, have to submit an electronic or a written statement, pledging that the products are up to the quality specifications and safety requirements set by the import country/region.  Customs clearance will be given only to products manufactured by companies on the list of manufacturers that have passed certification or registration to applicable foreign standards. KHB SARS-CoV-2 test kits are on the approval list issued on April 26.
