Within the project, leading Latvian scientists and engineers from 9 leading Latvian universities and research institutes will develop advanced solutions for mitigating the effects of COVID-19, applicable in healthcare and other high-risk areas such as public transport. The project addresses all the topics of Task 6.7 of Cabinet Regulation No. 560 “For mitigating the effects of Covid-19”. The general objective of the project is to improve the resilience and quality of services in healthcare areas during COVID-19 and other infectious diseases by improving and developing reliable technologies and concepts. The project results will improve the well-being of healthcare professionals, public services and society as a whole by reducing workload, health risks, work-related stress and service-delivery time. The scientific results will be published in international scientific journals and, where possible, presented at scientific conferences and national seminars, in particular to inform the target audience. Prototypes of the developed technologies will be demonstrated in at least one Latvian hospital. The project also involves students and young scientists in research, as they will be represented in the personnel of almost all project partners.

The following activities will be carried out during the project:
Work Package 1 – Management, dissemination and demonstration activities.
Work Package 2 – Personal protective equipment.
Work Package 3 – Antiviral surfaces and disinfectants.
Work Package 4 – Automated and robotic equipment for air and surface disinfection.
Work Package 5 – Rapid method development and efficiency assessment.
