Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 49.7 million reported cases and over 1.2 million deaths globally confirmed deaths at the time of writing, demands global action to counteract this virus. It is widely accepted that COVID-19 is a long-term pandemic that will require a constant and innovative range of mitigation approaches to protect public health. This paper provides infrastructure facility management (FM) systems based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) to reduce the likelihood of COVID-19 infections indoors. Although there are several factors for dealing with COVID-19, the sole focus of this project is to reduce crowding and facilitate social distancing between occupants. The significance of this research relies on the use of mathematical methods, BIM, programming as well as FM tools and databases to achieve safer management of large and populated public buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic. The infrastructure management example refers to the Civil Engineering School at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. It is based on mathematical applications to find the paths of people paths inside the infrastructure and is synchronized with in-house developed software and the Internet domain as source and input data.

Summary
The COVID-19 crisis has become a worldwide challenge, with a total accumulated 49.7 million confirmed cases at the time of writing. The main objective of this study was to apply mathematical tools combined with synchronized BIM-based FM technologies for the management of COVID-19 safety measures in large public buildings such as ETSICCP. To achieve this goal, a tridimensional infrastructure model of the ETSICCP was used [1]. A tridimensional infrastructure model of the ETSICCP was used [1] With this framework, this paper aimed to implement an internal management system in complex buildings under pandemic situations. This target houses a global technological process where new technologies, such as BIM, FM, IoT or Big Data, were considered to develop a new infrastructure management system
