Abstract

The unexpected development and quick; however, the uncontrolled overall spread of the Coronavirus shows us the disappointment of existing human services observation frameworks to convenient handle general wellbeing crises. In spite of the fact that upgrades in medicinal services observation have been understood, these still miss the mark in forestalling commotion. Absence of important advances taken to guarantee control and following of the infection have bothered the circumstance. Blockchain innovation has progressively been referenced as an instrument to help with different parts of various applications. This paper highlights the role of blockchain in forestalling the future of pandemics. Various use cases of blockchain technology that can help in the battle against the COVID-19 are also highlighted in this paper.
