Abstract

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease Corona 2019 (COVID-19) has been in Wuhan, China since November 2019 and has spread to more than 160 countries around the world. As a result, the need to call for ambulances has increased from the incident. Found that there are many patients who do not have an ambulance to pick them up after finding themselves with symptoms similar to the new coronavirus disease Corona 2019 (COVID-19). It should find ways to improve the ambulance system to be able to respond to future epidemic incidents. Therefore, this study proposes the scheduling of epidemic patient transfers to quarantine hospitals for handling potential future epidemics using multiple 0–1 knapsack problem in scheduling simulations. An ambulance to transport the patient to the hospital for quarantine. By scheduling an ambulance, the goal is to maximize the effectiveness of prioritizing patients in relation to their health status.
