Abstract

COVID-19 has a great impact globally, wherein it affects the economic status of each country, education, industries, job opportunities, and students, especially the families who were victims of the said virus. Getting information to the victims is crucial to the families, where they can be separated from the community. The confidentiality of an individual may not be controlled because it is very obvious that it may be known in or within the community. This paper introduces and discusses the issues and how important it is to have a system and the right implementation for the privacy of individuals' data. Data privacy is one of the most important issues globally and must be kept confidential.
