Authorities have taken a variety of measures focusing on the control of the spread of the fatal disease. With no available cure and high transmissibility rate, containment, testing, social distancing, lockdowns, and epidemiological investigation are practiced globally. Digital innovation comes into play from the technology industry just like software applications, artificial intelligence, and the like as a supplement to conventional practices. Technology has played a pivotal role in the disease investigation process and in preventing further outbreaks. With all the uncertainty in the market, economy, and public health, how lucrative is investing in Tech Stocks nowadays?
