The epidemic of coronavirus disease which is called COVID-19 is dispersing all over the world. The pandemic has taken the world as a surprise, and the government of maximum countries suffering from this pandemic failed to predict the magnitude of the situation as well as prepare themselves on time. Heavy demand for medical care facilities has broken down the top health care models in the world and failed in protecting their public. This is a matter of discussion on why top models health care sectors not able to handle the situation created by this infectious disease. This scenario gives a message to adopt the resources of emerging technologies at the global level to make a healthy nation in place of a powerful nation. This pandemic prompted a record demand for critical health resources and forced to adopt all the emerging technologies based applications to help for fighting with this situation. These technologies help for mass screening, patients surveillance, tracking virus, effective quarantine, implement social distancing as well as lockdown effectively, supply medical essentials, and many more. The world was not prepared to handle this situation that’s why emerging technologies are adopted in the battle of this coronavirus like AI, cloud computing, IoT, Deep Learning, Drones, Robotics, etc. are some emerging technologies used to fight with the epidemic of COVID-19. These techniques help decision making authorities to make policies and take decisions after analyzing the data and prediction done. This chapter explains the role of some emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing, Internet of Things(IoT), Robotics, Drones, 5G Network, and Blockchain in COVID-19 pandemic time. These techniques are playing a vital role in the battle of COVID-19 and also highlight how these technologies are used to handle this situation.
