Document: The shift in human interaction and media consumption to online communication has changed the way people seek information. Search engines and social media have become the key sources for enhancing communication of health information among community members to prevent and understand illness. The content entered into search engines or posted on social media accounts provide valuable information about the detection of infectious disease.
