Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to considerable disruption and raised a number of issues for both individuals and society as a whole. Many of these issues have both technology and ethics dimensions. Several of them are discussed in this paper. In the session the authors will be making brief presentations from their perspectives and the experiences of Covid-19 in their different countries. This will be followed by a comment/question and answer session and final summing up by the authors.
