Abstract

The emergence of severe acute respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) completely changed the way of living. Since its eruption, researchers and healthcare professionals are facing challenges in areas of drug therapy and viral spread control. This challenges paves way for the use of information technologies that plays a key role in the control of coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. In the current paper, we discussed the concept of telemedicine, importance of telehealth and telemedicine services during the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges faced by healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic with its solutions through execution of telemedicine. We also dealt with limitations in the implementation of telemedicine services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
