IDEA VIRTUAL SCHOOL SOLUTIONS

Universal access, low student engagement, informal curriculum
alignment and limited measurability of educational outcomes are
all key problems with the current remote or virtual learning
programs undertaken in large scale public-private educational
technology deployments. COVID-19 has further widened the gap
between remote, peri-urban, low-income public sector students
and private education students.

IDEA has created an outcome, data-driven and interactive virtual
school solution that is device and connectivity agnostic. Working
on a mobile phone, tablet, computer or projector the IDEA

In vitro Molecular RNA-seq data for rapid diagonostic testing and validating RT-qPCR reference genes for studying respiratory specimens from Persons Under Investigation (PUIs), with Suspected or Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The SARS coronavirus (SCoV) appears to be zoonotic and to have originated in wild mammals in southern China. A coronavirus comprises single-stranded RNA inside a lipid envelope. Coronaviruses cause a substantial fraction of human colds and a number of common respiratory infections in other animals, including livestock and poultry. The recent COVID-19 outbreak of a novel type of coronavirus that began in China has prompted a massive global effort to contain and slow its spread. Despite those efforts, over the last month the virus has begun circulating outside of China in multiple countries and

Establishing a national COVID 19 wastewater and non-sewer based water quality survaillance programme

Surveillance of wastewater treatment plants offers an opportunity for near–real-time outbreak data and as an early warning for resurgence of the outbreak. To date, the wastewater-based epidemiology approach has been successfully piloted in developed countries where there is wide coverage of waterborne sanitation, such as the Netherlands, France, United States of America, etc. However, given the varied water and sanitation services delivery mechanisms in South Africa (and lack of), the country, through the Water Research Commission, is in a unique position to pioneer the development and

Clinical effectiveness of lopinavir in the management of Covid-19 infection and prevention.

COVID-19 also known as Coronavirus 2019, is currently declared by WHO as a new pandemic
disease caused by a single-stranded RNA zoonotic virus termed severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Lu et al. 2020). The complete viral genome analysis shows that the
virus shares 88% sequence identity to two bat-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-
like coronaviruses, but more distant from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARSCoV) (Lu et al. 2020). Coronavirus is an enveloped and single-stranded ribonucleic acid named
for its solar corona like appearance

Magnetic beads nucleic acid extraction technology

The bottleneck to most of the molecular (PCR) testing is due to lack of nucleic acid extraction kits. Where available, the possibility of automation enhances the speed with which one can access high throughput extraction. Therefore, development and manufacture of efficient extraction reagents is the first step towards pandemic/infectious disease outbreak readiness. The lessons from Covid-19 outbreak should include countries readying themselves against such outbreaks by manufacturing their own reagents and having the ability to ramp up production when necessary. Our product development and

Quarantuning at the time of Coronavirus

This research project looks at how Quarantine was used as a preventative measure in the fight against Covid-19. It seeks to asses the impact of Quarantine towards flattening the curve. It also delves deeper into the concept of Quarantine and how South Africans got to experience it and apply it in their daily lives between March 2020 and July 2020 as social distancing became a health imperative.
