Without an effective vaccine, treatment, or therapy, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading like fire and claiming lives. Countries began to adopt various strategies such as lockdown, mass testing, tracing, quarantine, sanitization, isolation, and treatment to contain COVID-19. However, it was soon realized that we need to take the help of powerful technologies to combat the spread of deadly COVID-19 until a vaccine or a drug is discovered. In this article, we discuss how the use of cutting edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Big data, artificial intelligence (AI), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/drones, blockchain, robotics, autonomous ground vehicles, communication technologies in screening, testing, contact tracing, spread analysis, sanitization, and protocol enforcements can help prevent the COVID-19 spread.

使用信息和通信技术防止 COVID-19 传播

如果没有有效的疫苗、治疗或疗法，2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 将像火一样蔓延并夺去生命。各国开始采取各种策略，例如封锁、大规模检测、追踪、检疫、消毒、隔离和治疗以遏制 COVID-19。然而，人们很快意识到，在发现疫苗或药物之前，我们需要借助强大的技术来对抗致命的 COVID-19 的传播。在本文中，我们将讨论如何使用尖端技术，例如物联网 (IoT)、大数据、人工智能 (AI)、无人驾驶飞行器 (UAV)/无人机、区块链、机器人、自动地面车辆、通信筛查、测试、接触者追踪、传播分析、消毒和协议执行方面的技术可以帮助防止 COVID-19 传播。
