[47].”
• Digital Health Strategies to Fight COVID-19 Worldwide: Challenges, Recommendations, and a Call for Papers (2020, background): “First, in terms of number of people infected, transmissibility, and spectrum of clinical severity, it has had a greater impact to date than previous epidemics such as pandemic influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), or Ebola virus [3].”
