ABSTRACT
A disease tracking system is basically a practice in the field of
epidemiology which involves monitoring of a disease, especially an
epidemic in order to establish patterns of progression. For this study we
are going to be considering the most recent epidemic of the 21st century;
the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) pandemic.

The primary and key role of this disease tracking system is to predict,
observe and minimize the harm caused by the outbreak, epidemic and
pandemic situation. It also plays the role of increasing knowledge about
relevant factors which contribute to those circumstances. It is made
particularly successful critically by the practice of disease case reporting.

Reporting of disease outbreak incidents can be done by gathering cases

from hospitals which could then now be collated and made public. This is
a way to quickly contain hot spots for the particular disease we are
tracking.
Most times, there is a mandatory reporting policy in order to get quick,
direct and accurate information so as to find solutions quickly to the
problems identified through those information.

Presently for the COVID-19 pandemic, the World health Organisation is

the lead agency for the coordination of global responses to the pandemic.
It has a number websites for specific diseases and has active teams in
countries all over the world.

The study covers COVID-19 documentation and control at least in the

Nigerian society and also internationally. It focuses particularly on the
disease tracking system. We also examine challenges and techniques to
address them. For this project we would examine on a smaller scale and
test it before then broadening the scope.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A disease tracking system is basically a practice in the field of
epidemiology which involves monitoring of a disease, especially an
epidemic in order to establish patterns of progression. For this study we
are going to be considering the most recent epidemic of the 21st century;
the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) pandemic.

The primary and key role of this disease tracking system is to predict,
observe and minimize the harm caused by the outbreak, epidemic and
pandemic situation. It also plays the role of increasing knowledge about
relevant factors which contribute to those circumstances. It is made
particularly successful critically by the practice of disease case reporting.

Reporting of disease outbreak incidents can be done by gathering cases

from hospitals which could then now be collated and made public. This is
a way to quickly contain hot spots for the particular disease we are
tracking.

Most times, there is a mandatory reporting policy in order to get quick,

direct and accurate information so as to find solutions quickly to the
problems identified through those information.

Presently for the COVID 19 pandemic, the World health Organisation is the
lead agency for the coordination of global responses to the pandemic. It
has a number websites for specific diseases and has active teams in
countries all over the world

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

We are trying to create an automated tracking system whereby certain
states can submit and update their information of confirmed cases,
recovered numbers and deaths.

1.3 MOTIVATION OF THE STUDY

The study is motivated by the global pandemic and the urgent need to
combat it in our immediate locality.

1.4 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The aims and objectives of this study include.

1. To create a database for government disease control agencies that have

access to COVID cases whereby the authorized agencies can add and
update their relevant numbers.

2. To create an information obtaining system which in this case, will be an

at-a-glance view of the cases, recovered and deaths.
3. To improve upon the current means of data collection and record
keeping of respective cases of each state.

1.5 OUTLINE OF METHODOLOGY

The implementation of this idea and project was done with the user of the
server-side programming language PHP and the MySQL database
querying language. This will also be hosted as a web application on an
online domain.

1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study covers COVID-19 documentation and control at least in the
Nigerian society and internationally. It focuses particularly on the disease
tracking system. We also examine challenges and techniques to address
them. For this project we would examine on a smaller scale and test it
before then broadening the scope.

1.7 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study is very significant in studying, analyzing, and postulating more
efficient and trustworthy ways of collecting data for disease prevention
and control. It also helps the case for an e-record system to be used
across sectors of the economy and society at large.

1.8 ORGANISATION OF THE PROJECT

The project is organized such that; Chapter One gives a brief introduction
in form of the Background of the Study of disease tracking systems. In
Chapter Two, we have a broad look at the related implementations of
disease tracking systems. Chapter Three examines the System
Architecture, the system design and analysis. Chapter Four presents the
implementation of the project using necessary programming languages
and development models. It also presents the result of testing carried out.
Chapter Five rounds off the project work with the summary, conclusions,
and recommendations for future works.
