Contribution :	In answering the question about the role of the Internet and international internet-related public policy in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and future pandemics, we must first look to the original purpose of the internet itself: communication. Communication, simply put, refers to the sending and receipt of information verbally, through a written medium, visual cues or otherwise. We could therefore simply say that the internet is a network of computers which facilitates communication across the globe. The role of the Internet and international internet-related policy is therefore based primarily on how communication networks (facilitated by them) can minimise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
