Abstract

Technologies are rapidly developing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They help fight the virus and make life easier during the times of restraint. “Smart” cities are the places where such technologies are concentrated. They have developed digital infrastructure, they often have an intelligent urban system, video surveillance, fast communication, smart healthcare and education. All of these contribute to faster adoption and use of digital technologies. This is important in times of sharp changes due to the pandemic and the need for social distancing. This paper examines smart technologies that help fight the pandemic. There are examples of artificial intelligence and machine learning in such areas as medicine for diagnosis and treatment, predicting the spread of infection, special contact tracking systems for infected people, automation of workplaces, distance work and education, etc. The authors employ global statistics to analyze the relationship between the sickness rate of coronavirus infection and the number of smart cities.
