The unprecedented outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus, termed as COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO), has placed numerous governments around the world in a precarious situation.

The number of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases has been increasing at an alarming rate throughout the world, with a report from WHO stating that there are more than 3.23 million confirmed cases as of August 2020.

In Healthcare, IoT is an innovative technological platform to fight with COVID-19 pandemic and can fulfil significant challenges during the lockdown situation.

The contact tracing of the confirmed cases is highly essential to control the spread of the pandemic and this tedious work can be simplified if the location history of the COVID-19 patient is readily available in the database which can be accessed by the healthcare authorities.

The spread of the virus can be controlled by the timely intervention of the healthcare and public authorities as well as by individual alertness.
