Abstract
The whole world is suffering from a pandemic known as SARS-CoV-2. In India also, few states are at the border of the community transmission stage of the virus. It is an alarming condition, so new scientific techniques can play a crucial role in eroding the global problem. This report focuses on how India, a developing country, is trying to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease and how artificial intelligence (AI) plays an essential role in controlling and monitoring the condition. The study also focuses on the challenges faced by a developing country such as India.
Keywords: COVID-19, AI, health care, virus, pandemic, transmission.
