The COVID 19 (Coronavirus) pandemic has led to a surge in the demand for healthcare devices, pre-cautions, or medicines along with advanced information technology. It has become a global mission to control the Coronavirus to prevent the death of innocent people. The fourth industrial revolution (I4.0) is a new approach to thinking that is proposed across a wide range of industries and services to achieve greater success and quality of life. Several initiatives associated with industry 4.0 are expected to make a difference in the fight against COVID-19. Implementing I4.0 components effectively could lead to a reduction in barriers between patients and healthcare workers and could result in improved communication between them. The present study aims to review the components of I4.0 and related tools used to combat the Coronavirus. This article highlights the benefits of each component of the I4.0, which is useful in controlling the spread of COVID-19. From the present study, it is stated that I4.0 technologies could provide an effective solution to deal with local as well as global medical crises in an innovative way.
新冠疫情导致对医疗设备、预防措施或药品以及先进信息技术的需求激增。控制新冠病毒以防止无辜民众死亡已成为一项全球使命。第四次工业革命（I4.0）是一种新的思维方式，在广泛的行业和服务领域被提出，以实现更大的成功和更高的生活质量。预计与工业4.0相关的多项举措将在抗击新冠疫情中发挥作用。有效实施I4.0组件可减少患者与医护人员之间的障碍，并改善他们之间的沟通。本研究旨在回顾I4.0的组件以及用于抗击新冠病毒的相关工具。本文强调了I4.0各组件的益处，这对控制新冠疫情的传播很有用。从本研究可知，I4.0技术可以以创新方式为应对本地和全球医疗危机提供有效解决方案。
