Résumé
E-health could play an important role in the global response to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This paper aims to outline the roles of using e-health in the control and management of COVID-19 based on current perspectives. Many databases and health organizations were searched. The results indicated that there are significant roles of e-health in strengthening the efforts to control and manage this COVID-19 pandemic through improving safe coordination and communication, affording an alternative for education and training, analyzing the data, and providing safe care. Further studies are recommended to evaluate the role of e-health in the control and management of COVID-19.
