In these modern days of technology, the Internet of Things appears to be the future as it already enhances lots of devices used domestically or in the professional world to be connected, thereby giving them the ability to perform data exchange over the Internet.

It appears that we are just at the beginning of what IoT could do. In 2017, the number of devices on IoT hit about 8.4 billion and expectations are that the figure will hit the 30 billion mark before 2020 runs out.

Beyond what the IoT can offer us as individuals, businesses are not also left out of the mix. With IoT, businesses can collect and analyse data to ensure, efficiency, safety and good decision making for their ventures.

The IoT can also speed up medical care, especially, in times like these when the coronavirus has taken its toll on the human population. Advanced technology such as the IoT can help curb the spread of the disease.

Besides, the IoT in any typical function serves as a utility appliance in real-life. However, in this current predicament that the world is facing, all nations are combating the pandemic, according to their capacities, seeking cost-effective ways to face the challenge, fair and square.

Researches are going on in different quarters and attempts are being made to develop new theories and create explanations that are user-centred.

In the current situation that the world has found itself, the figures of infected patients keep on increasing by the day in many countries of the world. This calls for a need to leverage the facilities offered through the Internet of Things.
