Roles of Technology During COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating impacts on every functional aspect of society, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions more infected in just a few short months. What started as a small outbreak in Wuhan, China back in late 2019 quickly snowballed into a 'public health emergency of international concern' by the end of January before being declared a global pandemic on March 11th, 2020 by the World Health Organization. What will happen to the economy? How will children receive an education? When can families reunite once again? These are just some of the questions that dominated citizens as this 'new normal' began to set in. Despite taking some time to adjust, however, solutions to almost all of these concerns began to be put in place largely because of advancements in modern technology.
