The Debian Med team currently has around 920 packages in main, contrib and non-free sections. This count is further increasing with new incoming packages and adoptions from orphaned packages from other related teams like the Neuro-Debian team, et al. There is also quite a number of not yet packaged or recently developed Free Software to combat COVID-19, which use methods like predictive analysis, Bioinformatics, impact model, et al. Many of these softwares can be seen as potential softwares to be packaged for Debian thus turning a Debian system into a workbench for scientists and medical staff to fight the corona pandemic. Through this project, I intend to package new software which is related to COVID-19, add autopkgtests in packages with missing tests and also help fix test failures for already existing packages.
