The vital role of big data on on the fight against coronavirus
The world has tapped into big data, machine learning, and other digital tools as the virus spread through the nation in order to track and contain the outbreak using information fro outbreaks of similar diseases.

A mobile app that harnesses 21st-century technology can accelerate the notification process while maintaining ethics to slow the rate of contagion.
Taiwan’s strategy integrated the national health insurance database with data from its immigration and customs database. By centralizing the data in this way, when faced with coronavirus, they were able to get real-time alerts regarding who might be infected based on symptoms and travel history. In addition to this, they had QR code scanning and online reporting of travel and health symptoms that helped them classify travelers infection risks and a toll-free hotline for citizens to report suspicious symptoms, the results are obvious with Taiwan almost completely irradicating the virus within its boarders which also shows the success an effectiveness of when big data is used and combined to combat problems such a viruses.
