Abstract
With the daily rapid growth in the number of newly confirmed and suspected Coronavirus cases, Coronavirus extremely threatens public health, countries’ economic, social life, and international relations around the world. In the fight against Coronavirus, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones can play a significant role in many aspects to limit the spread of this pandemic. Also, the strategic planning of many governments such as in China for controlling this crisis is supported by the use of drones for the Coronavirus outbreak. This chapter explores the possibilities and opportunities of UAV, also called drones in fighting Coronavirus. Drones are introduced, showing their main findings to make it easy for researchers to investigate new techniques that will help the healthcare sector worker and reduce the spread of Coronavirus pandemic. The chapter also presents some problems and challenges that can help healthcare sectors and curbing the Coronavirus spread.
