COVID-19 is one of the greatest challenges humanity has faced recently, forcing a change in the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. Therefore, many efforts have been made by researchers across the globe in the attempt of determining the models of COVID-19 spread. The objectives of this review are to analyze some of the open-access datasets mostly used in research in the field of COVID-19 regression modeling as well as present current literature based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for regression tasks, like disease spread. Moreover, we discuss the applicability of Machine Learning (ML) and Evolutionary Computing (EC) methods that have focused on regressing epidemiology curves of COVID-19, and provide an overview of the usefulness of existing models in specific areas. An electronic literature search of the various databases was conducted to develop a comprehensive review of the latest AI-based approaches for modeling the spread of COVID-19. Finally, a conclusion is drawn from the observation of reviewed papers that AI-based algorithms have a clear application in COVID-19 epidemiological spread modeling and may be a crucial tool in the combat against coming pandemics.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profoundly affected physical and mental health. Since the onset of the pandemic, the prevalence of depression and anxiety has significantly increased. Quarantine and social distancing, implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, have exacerbated social isolation.

Background: The rapid global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic affected different regions, communities, and individuals in vastly different ways that interdisciplinary social scientists are well-positioned to document and investigate. This paper describes an innovative mixed-methods dataset generated by a research study that was designed to chronicle and preserve evidence of the pandemic's divergent effects: the Pandemic Journaling Project (PJP). The dataset was generated by leveraging digital technology to invite ordinary people around the world to document the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their everyday lives over a two-year period (May 2020-May 2022) using text, images, and audio.

In view of Corona pandemic, scientists have taken significant efforts to study and recognize the peculiarities of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in order to prevent it from spreading. It was discovered that the virus is spreading in many places and nations that have made significant progress in addressing environmental pollution or are not subject to dusty storms. Infections are growing again in the same country, with varied densities of sick persons depending on the weather and windy season.

The emergence of the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic has undoubtedly impacted the lives of individuals across the globe. It has drawn the attention of major public health agencies as they work intensely towards understanding the behavior of the virus causing the disease, while simultaneously establishing ways to curb the spread of the virus among populations. As of the time of writing, 7,949,973 confirmed cases have been reported globally; with the United States (US) contributing to 26.

COVID-19 variants continue to infect thousands of people even though the end of the pandemic was announced on May 11, 2023. Nextstrain CoVariants (CoVariants) genomic databases provide detailed information about more than 31 variants of COVID-19 viruses that have been identified through genomic sequencing, showing the mutations they carry. Mutated viruses may yield a negative result for a gene target using a PCR test that has a positive COVID-19 test result.
