“…There are clearly very strong connections with SDGs 3 and 11, as well as 13 (with clear implications on pollution levels) and 16. When it comes to the latter, we would like to highlight the strong polarization in our societies, exacerbated by the algorithms used by news outlets and social media [61]; the problems associated with this polarization have become particularly dire due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a data crisis [62]. It is also important to note the significant number of studies documenting connections between COVID-19 and SDGs 8 (on economic growth) and 4 (on quality education), which reflect the negative impact of the COVID-19 restrictions on two very important areas of our societies.…”

A review of the issues involved, and lessons learned from using data in the fight against COVID-19 is contained in Naudé and Vinuesa (2020). Visvizi and Lytras (2020b) furthermore contains a discussion of the ways in which governments can more optimally use their capacity to manage new risks.…”
