03 August 2020 Current Affairs:Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), under Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, and Indian Institute of Science (IISc), have developed a model to scale up the novel tests using an adaptive strategy and the early phase of COVID-19 as an example.

Highlights:
The new model can be utilized to estimate the key aspects of medical inventory requirements which are required to scale up both the testing capabilities and the critical care facilities. 
The model is extremely relevant for COVID-19, as the disease character and the behavioral patterns of the people change.
The model reduces errors by letting one understand the range of variation of the predicted infections.
This new approach allows for planning of requirements for critical resources such as ICUs, Personal protective equipment (PPEs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
The new model is designed for simplicity of interpretation, and adaptability over time.
