Introduction

We've all been affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic's influence and

repercussions are experienced differently based on our status as individuals and members of society, and some

people try to adapt by working online and homeschooling.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The

first known case was discovered in Wuhan, China, in December of this year. Since then, the disease has spread

over the globe and is still considered a pandemic. COVID19 symptoms include fever, cough, headache,

tiredness, breathing trouble, loss of smell, and loss of taste. After being exposed to the virus, symptoms can

occur anywhere from one to fourteen days later. At least one-third of those who are afflicted have no symptoms

or indicators.

Several diagnostic techniques have been created to diagnose the disease. A nasopharyngeal swab is

used to detect the virus's nucleic acid using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RRT-

PCR), TMA, also known as reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification, is a type of

transcription-mediated amplification (RT-LAMP). COVID-19 vaccines have been approved and supplied in

several countries, and vaccination campaigns are now underway. Physical or social separation, quarantining,

indoor ventilation, concealing coughs and sneezes, hand washing, and keeping unclean hands away from the

face are among other preventive strategies. To limit the danger of transmission in public areas, face masks or

coverings have been recommended. While antiviral drugs are being developed, the most common treatment is

symptomatic.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was originally identified in Wuhan, China, in 2019, and

has since spread over the world, becoming the fifth documented pandemic since the 1918 influenza pandemic.

By September 2021, COVID-19 has caused more than 200 million confirmed illnesses and 4.6 million deaths.

The first official cases of COVID-19 were reported on December 31, 2019, when complaints of pneumonia

patients with no known etiology were received by the World Health Organization (WHO) in Wuhan, China.

The Chinese authorities identified a novel coronavirus, currently known as 2019-nCoV, as the cause of these

infections on January 7th. On the 30th of January 2020, the WHO classified the fast-expanding COVID-19

outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

The Problem

Covid-19 become the biggest problem of the 21 st century because Covid-19 has had a significant

impact on the global situation, worsening morbidity and mortality rates. With this pandemic there become an

immediate need for healthcare personnel to be trained and qualified to deal with this condition. COVID-19, on

the other hand, is much more than a health emergency. It can cause devastating social, economic, and political

catastrophes in each of the countries it affects, leaving deep scars.

Methodology

We examined the characteristics of journal publications with original data indexed in the World

Health Organization's (WHO) COVID-19 cohort, as well as those published on the medRxiv and bioRxiv

preprint services, in our COVID-19 research methodology.

Several literature evaluations were prepared to utilize automated algorithms for mapping research

approaches to examine the influence of COVID-19 and data pipelines, based on our collaborative work:

1- A literature search to identify indicators of direct and indirect impact.

2- Systematic reviews of the literature on risk factors for short and long-term health outcomes.

3- A systematic literature review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and impact of using digital tools

to track COVID-19 patients.

Approximately 16,000 people (22 percent) reported data issues, with nearly half reporting data and

methodology issues. Incidence, prevalence, mortality, severity, and consequences are the most often used direct

impact indicators. The main outcomes identified to investigate the causative and predictive effects of

vulnerability, multipath, and socioeconomic status were COVID-19 (the pathogen) infection, hospitalization,

ICU admission, and mortality; as well as ICU admission, hospitalization, survival, functional impairment,

quality of life, disability, mental health difficulties, and absence from work (alert). The search turned up 10,139

results. A preliminary search of the literature for COVID-19 patient tracking apps and technological devices

returned 2,500 records.

Because the amount of published evidence on COVID-19 impact is so large, machine learning technologies can

be used to synthesize the study on methods and data paths. The massive volume of literature on COVID-19

necessitates specialized methods of literature search and synthesis, as well as a collaborative effort from a large

group of researchers.

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on Bahrain. The COVID-19

Infection Survey was created in response to the pandemic and measures:

-How many persons have tested positive for COVID in Bahrain? -19 infection at any particular time, regardless

of whether or not symptoms have been reported

-Over the duration of the study, the average number of new positive test cases per week

-The number of patients who have tested positive for the antibodies.
