Abstract
Jordan, like other countries, was affected by the global pandemic (COVID-19) which required the need for researchers’ efforts to develop the latest electronic devices, modern technologies, and digital applications to limit the spread and mitigate the damage caused by it. Information systems and technology played a greater role in this global pandemic. In Jordan, researchers developed various technology innovations and applications to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper studies the information technology investments to respond to this pandemic. It also presents a questioner about information technology investments from this research, the results conclude the strength and the ability of information technology have an important role to cope with damage from COVID-19.
