摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected aspects of human life and various sectors, especially the health sector. These conditions led to the creation of new patterns of life that people have had to deal with to reduce the spread of the epidemic by committing to social distancing, among others. Therefore, governments and technological organizations had to take advantage of technological developments in the current era to overcome these challenges that were created by these conditions. In this paper, we will discuss the role of the blockchain in combating the COVID-19 crisis. Then we will review the recently recorded blockchain-based research proposals to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we will highlight the challenges of using blockchain to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and find solutions to mitigate these challenges.
