ABSTRACT
Corona Virus Disease 19 (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).Attempts on the use of advanced techniques have been made in the study the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly, the influence of Internet coverage on web-based applications may increase the crucial roles of Internet Mapping Technologies (IMTs) in the study of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The aim of this study was to assess how can IMTs contribute to the COVID-19 fight, particularly give an overview of applications offered by IMTs to study the COVID-19 pandemic. Web of Science, Scopus, and Google scholar were searched to find relevant studies. Three different issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented under three sub-sections; namely applications of IMTs on mapping COVID-19, in the fast acquisition of COVID-19-related data and on decision-making, strategic planning and response to COVID-19, respectively. The findings of this review provide an insight into how to ITMs contribute in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The wide range of applications offered by IMTs affirms the value of this advanced technique to the study of the COVID-19 pandemic.
