🔴UK University Issues Blockchain-based Certificate to Manage COVID19 Risks
🔻Covid19 has posed the gravest dangers upon goods across the value chain. Therefore, developing proper solutions is required to protect consumers from health risks. To deal efficiently with the imminent dangers posed by the post-pandemic world, a newly-launched “4th Fourth Industrial Revolution Technologies Centre”, co-founded by Birmingham City University, is testing a blockchain-based Coronavirus Clearance Certificate (CCC).
The aforesaid certificate proves that people have followed the due requirements of health protocols to break the COVID19 transmission chain. Moreover, the certificate confirms that a supplier adheres to highest standards of public health, sustainability, anti-bribery and even modern slavery.

🔴Tech Giants Play Significant Role in Developing Cross-Chain Interoperability
🔻Cross-border interoperability has always been one of the major discussion points in the blockchain industry over the past few years. Large web service providers such as IBM, Oracle, Azure Blockchain Services and SAP are determined to provide a proper solution for this issue.
A lack of infrastructure and data standardization is a major obstacle to blockchains interoperability, making it difficult for companies in different regions and sectors to work together. Blockchain lack of interoperability may prevent the blockchain mass-adoption in future. On the public blockchain side, multi-chain solutions like Cosmos and Polkadot seek to solve this problem as well.

🔴Blockchain Firm Cooperates with Indian Government to
🔻Improve Farmer’s Conditions
In partnership with Indian government, agriculture technology startup Agri10x is providing the requirements to effectively connect Indian small-scale farmers to global buyers by using blockchain to cut out the middleman.
The partnership provides Agri10x access to the government's national common service centers (CSCs), which would enable rural farming communities to register on the company's blockchain platform. Blockchain will allow small farmers to connect to more buyers without the need to squeeze profit margins from engaging in the middleman process.

🔴Decentralization & Preserving Personal Privacy During Coronavirus Pandemic
🔺In an effort to keep citizens safe, state authorities have rapidly implemented various emergency plans to curb the spread of COVID-19. These plans have jeopardized the data of citizens in the name of public health. Unlike centralized infrastructure, decentralized infrastructure does not gather user data on one centralized server. Instead, data is kept on users’ devices or private clouds and is encrypted so that only the user’s private key can unlock it. Users own their data and there is no concentration of personal data on servers in remote data centers.

🔴Chinese Stakeholders’ Reluctance to Share Their Personal Data with Government Run Blockchains
🔺Chinese stakeholders’ reluctance to share their privately owned data with centralized government institutions has brought about great challenges for implementation of blockchain technology in China. There are more than 30 related local governments procuring blockchain technology in China. Some of these projects have been forced to shut down in under two years due to lack of supporting data.
