Abstract

This paper aims to study the fight against COVID-19 in Bangladesh and digital intervention initiatives. To achieve the purpose of our research, we conducted a methodical review of online content. We have reviewed the first digital intervention that COVID-19 has been used to fight against worldwide. Then we reviewed the initiatives that have been taken in Bangladesh. Our paper has shown that while Bangladesh can take advantage of the digital intervention approach, it will require rigorous collaboration between government organizations and universities to get the most out of it. Public health can become increasingly digital in the future, and we are reviewing international alignment requirements. This exploration also focused on the strategies for controlling, evaluating, and using digital technology to strengthen epidemic management and future preparations for COVID-19.
