Application of IoT technology in the period of Coronavirus (Covid-19)

Coronavirus, as we all heard about the current outbreak of (COVID-19) that was first grown from Wuhan-China, in late of 2019. With rapidly spreading diseases like COVID-19.

Medical people in charge currently using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to inform people to keep away from infected area, Drones check the temperature of walking people in the street, and inform tham about the wearing masks. Various techniques have been invented by Chinese to handle the deadly virus spread across the country, it help them to stop spreading while it has begun to be a worldwide catastrophe, causing thousands of dead, leaving millions at risk, economies blocked, factories, in addition to cities, are below lockdown.

On the other hand, with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)-based tools, it is easy to detect Coronavirus cases. However, by tracking travel data, local officials are capable of recognizing the diseased person and sending him for additional screening. yet it breaks the privacy of the users, its allowed to use these technologies while China government in charge, while in democratic country its not allowed by law.

Many mobile applications have been built to help people check if they have taken the same train or flight as virus patients detected. Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses an event-based surveillance system that holds unstructured data from different sources, containing social media, the internet as well as official reports, to follow and recognize the approval of the danger.Freelancers and programmers start to provide the health machine to hospitals that used to cost thousand of dollars such as ECG System, Respiratory Monitoring System, based on simple components Arduino \Raspberry Pi and other sensors that cost massively less it used to.

the rule of making a IoT has high impact to save life and improve the quality of life, I wish the KRG government develop courses that start at early stages of schools in order to increase the dependability on local market to provide vital machine to our life.
