ABSTRACT

In the late 2019, a previously unknown pneumonia broke out in Wuhan, China and spread at an alarming rate. The highly contagious and virulent virus has pushed the world into deep water. There are no suitable treatments, insufficient medical resources, and no effective way to prevent widespread transmission. Scientists have come up with a number of ways to deal with these challenges posed by COVID-19, the most important of which is the application of technology. AI, drones, E-nose, stem cell therapy, monoclonal antibodies, pan-viral vaccines and telehealth help a lot, especially for the advancement of public health, giving people hope of getting through the difficult times. However, disadvantages of technologies remain because of technical bottlenecks and disclosure of personal privacy. Containing the COVID-19 pandemic requires trust, responsibility, cooperation and technology revolution. Only with these tools can we have the confidence to deal with the challenges of the future.
