The production and distribution of COVID-19 testing kits is an urgent and increasingly worldwide requirement, due to the ongoing pandemic. The accuracy of the kit is critically important and to save the world from the faulty kit becomes an issue. The kit before use has to be approved by an authorized medical research agency like US-FDA, ICMR, etc. In this paper, we proposed a framework that ensures that the testing kit is validated by various measures and gives the history of the supply chain of the testing kit. The parties that are used in the supply chain are Notary, Manufacturer, and Validating Party. A Consumer also plays an important role and can punch the batch number to check whether the kit is approved or not. The framework is developed using R3 Corda, a permissioned distributed ledger technology. A permissioned blockchain is used for data privacy and security so that only trusted parties can leave or join the system.

使用区块链技术应对COVID-19大流行的拟议框架

由于持续的大流行，COVID-19检测试剂盒的生产和分发是一项迫切且日益全球性的要求。套件的准确性至关重要，因此要从错误的套件中拯救世界就成为一个问题。使用之前，该套件必须经过US-FDA，ICMR等授权的医学研究机构的批准。在本文中，我们提出了一个框架，以确保通过各种措施对测试套件进行验证并提供供应链的历史记录测试套件。供应链中使用的各方是公证人，制造商和验证方。消费者也起着重要的作用，可以打出批号以检查该套件是否被批准。该框架是使用R3 Corda（一种许可的分布式分类帐技术）开发的。
