Editorial: COVID-19 and the digital age

Abstract

COVID-19 has been a truly viral global pandemic, played out online as well as in the spaces through which the SARS-Cov-2 virus has spread. This has seen a proliferation of new digital technologies, e-learning methods, international collaboration and research methodologies to harness the opportunities of the digital age. This special issue of the Global Journal of Medicine and Public Health highlights key opportunities and challenges for global health that have arisen during the pandemic and critiques how these might or should endure beyond it.
