Solutions of Problems Related to COVID-19 Pandemic with Application of Selected Logistic Technologies

Abstract

Covid-19 has brought about the development of the use of technological applications and initiatives to control the situation. The aim was to effectively monitor and eventually treat patients and facilitate the efforts of medical staff. This paper is the result of research into the possibilities of solving the problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic by applying selected logistics technologies. The paper provides a new perspective on technologies and discusses possibilities for future research. The goal of the study is based on relevant existing research which examines in detail how five selected technologies can help in the fight against the pandemic. It defines the potential practical application of these technologies in the context of threats to public health. The main findings of this paper concern the application of logistics technologies considering these essential factors. The research characterizes the problems associated with using the proposed technologies, such as costs, time, legislative constraints, safety, and ethics. Proposals for the practical application of logistics technologies in solving pandemic-related problems must accept not only the legal framework but also the socio-ethical dilemmas that these technologies present.
