This study investigated the role of community awareness in leveraging crowd wisdom and creating collective wisdom during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also explored the effect of this wisdom and the value of social media during such crises. Community involvement is considered an essential part of past epidemics (such as Ebola). However, there are concerns about a lack of community engagement and a bottom-up approach to the COVID-19 response so far. Determining how community engagement methods have been used in past epidemics can help implement stronger implementations in the COVID-19 response. The results show that community awareness plays an important role in the use of group wisdom and the creation of collaborative knowledge. The results confirmed the substantial effect of community awareness, and group wisdom in tackling the COVID-19 crisis.
