Furthermore, the existence of Technology has been a useful tool in making the lockdown a success, interns of communication (meetings are held online without physical contact). On the other hand, Technology to study and to make research speed up the development of the vaccine. Meanwhile, countries like Russia and the United States took advantage of Technology to develop the vaccine for the Covid-19.

• The Gamaleya Institute is the research facility stationed in Moscow that has been working on the production of the vaccine for Covid-19. It happens to be a success, which means it has been tested, but yet to be approved due to paperwork. The Russian health minister Mikhail Musashko revealed that the campaign on mass vaccinations is set to commence in October.
• Meanwhile, the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is an American pharmaceutical company also trying to develop the vaccine for Covid-19 which has been a success due to the testimony of the vaccine to be safe with a single dose on other animals such as monkeys. Still, it is yet to be tested on humans. Dr. Paul Stoffels, ( Chief Scientific Officer of J&J),  in a telephone conversation with Reuters, said, "the recent test outcome gives us confidence with  a single dose vaccine in this epidemic and learns if it has a protective effect in humans."

Moreover, before the vaccine is approved, it has to be ensured that it is safe for human health to avoid further health complications. Many of the countries that were earliest and hardest hit by Coronavirus, such as Asia and Europe, and those that were most successful in controlling the disease, such as South Korea and New Zealand, have put green development alongside health the heart of their COVID-19 recovery strategies.
