(Saudi Digital Library, 0023-09-21) Almalki, Raed; Aryal, Komal Raj
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on a worldwide scale, which has led governments to develop a variety of preventative and response measures in an effort to lessen the severity of its consequences. The education system, particularly that of Saudi Arabia, faced tremendous problems and was required to fast adjust to the new conditions brought about by the epidemic. This dissertation analyzes the transformational influence of digital cooperation in Saudi Arabia's reaction to the COVID-19 crisis, with a special emphasis on education, health, safety, and security. The topic of this research is COVID-19. During the epidemic, Saudi Arabia, like with many other nations, understood the significance of digital technology, particularly in the fields of public health, healthcare services, education, telecommunication, commerce, and risk communication. Analysis of publicly available official announcements, press briefings, published data, research, and professional discussions were performed with the goal of gaining a thorough understanding of Saudi Arabia's digital response. According to the findings of the research, the pandemic prompted a faster adoption of digital solutions across a variety of industries. The education system in Saudi Arabia has shown resiliency by adopting online education platforms to guarantee that students always have the opportunity to learn new things. The cooperation provided by telecommunications firms was essential to the continuing efforts, and those working to disseminate information about potential dangers made good use of websites, social media platforms, and SMS text messaging. This study comes to a close by investigating the role that digital cooperation had in changing Saudi Arabia's emergency reaction to the COVID-19 issue. The research adds vital insights to continuing worldwide efforts in harnessing digital collaboration to lessen the effect of crises and influence future disaster response tactics by studying its impact on education, health, safety, and security. These are only few of the areas that were investigated in the study.
