Abstract
With the frequent speedily rise in the number of recently reported and suspected cases of COVID-19, COVID-19 is a significant threat to public health, cultural, social and foreign relations around the world. Accurate diagnosis has to turn into a critical issue affecting the containment of this disease, especially at the countries which outbreak the virus. In the fight against COVID-19, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have played a significant role in many aspects. In this chapter, a systematics review of the recent work related to COVID-19 containment using AI and big data techniques is introduced, showing their main findings and limitations to make it easy for researchers to investigate new techniques that will help the healthcare sector worker and reduce the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter also presents the problems and challenges and present to the researchers and academics some future research points from the AI point of view that can help healthcare sectors and curbing the COVID-19 spread.
