Query: An Automated Contact Tracing Approach for Controlling Covid-19 Spread
  Based on Geolocation Data from Mobile Cellular Networks   The coronavirus (COVID-19) has appeared as the greatest challenge due to its
continuous structural evolution as well as the absence of proper antidotes for
this particular virus. The virus mainly spreads and replicates itself among
mass people through close contact which unfortunately can happen in many
unpredictable ways. Therefore, to slow down the spread of this novel virus, the
only relevant initiatives are to maintain social distance, perform contact
tracing, use proper safety gears, and impose quarantine measures. But despite
being theoretically possible, these approaches are very difficult to uphold in
densely populated countries and areas. Therefore, to control the virus spread,
researchers and authorities are considering the use of smartphone based mobile
applications (apps) to identify the likely infected persons as well as the
highly risky zones to maintain isolation and lockdown measures. However, these
methods heavily depend on advanced technological features and expose
significant privacy loopholes. In this paper, we propose a new method for
COVID-19 contact tracing based on mobile phone users' geolocation data. The
proposed method will help the authorities to identify the number of probable
infected persons without using smartphone based mobile applications. In
addition, the proposed method can help people take the vital decision of when
to seek medical assistance by letting them know whether they are already in the
list of exposed persons. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed
method can significantly outperform the smartphone app-based solutions.
