In today’s life, COVID-19 secured its fame as one of the most deadliest disease in the past decades. Many people including governments around the world have turned to use machine vision (MV) technologies to recognize or diagnose the COVID-19 infected people. These MV technologies are effectively used in the mass gathering such as airports, parks, hospitals etc. Also, these MV technologies has a wast utilization such as diagnose, identify and leveling. Further, The identified infected people are segregated for further treatments using MV products like ventilators, respirators and other Artificial Intelligent (AI) based medical gears.

COVID-19 screening is in progress in the airports or while being crossing the borders by the health officials using thermometer guns and physically checking the symptoms of breathing difficulties with cough. This scenario might overcome with the help of MV algorithms to screen at the large-scale [1].

Next to the process of screening, detecting the presence of COVID-19 virus is essential. Recently, Alibaba one of the tech giant in and around china has developed an AI system with 96% of accuracy in detecting the virus in chest X-ray. Further, this system can also differentiate the COVID-19 and pneumonia virus automatically [2].

Last but not the least, the drones and robots as a AI system used to by many government agencies to deliver and spray disinfectants in the red alert zones [3]. This process avoid the contact between the people and reduce the risk factor against the COVID-19. As a conclusion, once again AI proves its necessity to the world.
