A Study on the Various Technologies used to Combat Covid-19

Abstract

With time, Science has proved to be the Best Solution for solving problems and making our work easier and effective. In the last year and a half, COVID-19 has completely transformed our lives. Technology has become more important and necessary than ever in order for us to lead a quality life and help us adjust to the new normal. If one thing that COVID-19 has shown us profoundly, then it is how machines and technology can perform certain tasks efficiently, sometimes better than humans. Be it delivering food and medicine or predicting the number of cases or telling us the probability of spread of the virus, technology has proven to be very efficient in these testing times. Especially with a virus-like COVID-19 which is highly contagious and spreads through human contact, humans were highly dependent on technology even for the simplest of tasks. Through this paper, we review and research how exactly important technological domains Robotics, Data Science, Data Analytics, Computer Vision, VR, and others have played a major role or can play a major role in the management of and study of COVID-19. We have done a thorough study on the various technologies used to combat COVID 19.
