Summary

The world's attention has turned to technology in all its forms and its dependence on the Internet to facilitate business and prevent the global economy from being affected by this pandemic and the resulting closures of many organizations as a way to prevent the spread of the virus further and reduce the number of infections and deaths to a minimum (Basu et al, 2020). As for the spread of an epidemic as a pandemic, it was so dangerous that governments were forced to close many of their sectors in the hope of controlling the spread and as an attempt to support the health sector in it to reduce the number of infections and avoid pressure on health sector institutions (Folger-Laronde et al, 2020)
