Covid-19: Nowhere To HIDE?

The Malaysian Government recently launched the Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement ("HIDE") system.
 
According to Khairy Jamaluddin, the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, the HIDE system is an early warning system to identify potential Covid-19 hotspots using predictive technology, big data analytics and artificial intelligence.¹
 
The Minister clarified that the areas identified by the HIDE system differ from areas identified by the Ministry of Health as Covid-19 clusters.² Khairy added that the HIDE system serves as a guide for authorities and operators of premises to take pre-emptive measures to prevent the outbreak of new Covid-19 clusters at the premises that have been identified as potential Covid-19 hotspots.³
