Abstract
Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19, there is an urgent need to utilize existing technologies to their full potential. Internet of Things (IoT) is regarded as one of the most trending technologies with a great potential in fighting against the coronavirus outbreak. The IoT comprises of a scarce network in which the IoT devices sense the environment and send useful data on the Internet. In this paper, we examine the current status of IoT applications related to COVID-19, identify their deployment and operational challenges, and suggest possible opportunities to further contain the pandemic. Furthermore, we perform analysis for implementing IoT in which internal and external factors are discussed.
