The Importance of Recording Self-Reported Information in the Management of COVID-19 Virus Variants: A Technology-Based Approach

Abstract

COVID-19 virus variants are rapidly spreading across the world. Successful tracing of contacts and early isolation after the onset of symptoms are vital, because, in this period, patients can infect other people having contact with them before isolation. One method for identifying, tracing, screening, and monitoring the potential patients can be self-reporting of information by these individuals. The present letter suggested importance of recording self-reported information in the management of COVID-19 virus variants using technology-based devices.
