Abstract:

Information and Communication Technology plays an important role in the industries, like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, forecasting and business, when it comes to developing a sustainable and strong infrastructure. The Covid-19 outbreak brings about the imposition of an enhanced community quarantine in different countries, especially in places where the number of Covid-19 cases is high. This paper explores the different ICT technologies used and that can be used for data gathering, data analyzing, data management, and data communications during the outbreak. It also looks into how the technologies work and how they provide support to people in this time of need. Moreover, it focuses on Big data and how information can be used.
