Fighting the COVID-19 outbreak has proven to be incredibly difficult. Existing legacy systems are simply insufficient, which is why the UAE has high hopes for blockchain technology.<\/p>\n
Tracking a global pandemic is not doable with databases and other traditional tools.<\/p>\n
Instead, it will require the use of innovative and groundbreaking technologies.<\/p>\n
For the UAEs Ministry of Community Development, blockchain technology is of great interest.<\/p>\n
The use of digital channels makes a lot of sense in this modern era.<\/p>\n
Citizens are now identified through a digital identity.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the use of blockchain technology is becoming a lot more prominent in the region.<\/p>\n
This is in line with the Ministrys transition from paper documents to approved digital documents.<\/p>\n
MOCD has been using blockchain technology for digital authentication of certificates and documents for some time now.<\/p>\n
It is expected that the DLT system will soon be able to process over 3,00 types of documents in the near future.<\/p>\n
All of these measures are needed to deter people from visiting government offices during the COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n
How the situation will evolve, remains to be determined.<\/p>\n
For now, there is no real improvement in sight as far as the COVID-19 situation is concerned.<\/p>\n
This may be a good time for other governments to explore blockchain technology in the near future.<\/p>\n
