Starting from the first part of the previous year, the mankind faced a very unusual challenge. Starting with the spread of an animal-based virus found in the exotic food markets in Wuhan Province, China, the SARS-COV-2 virus quickly began to spread on a global basis on the entire planet. With such a high contagiousness it was only a matter of time till the virus made its presence in the countries all over the world, infecting many people and, unfortunately, rising the death toll every day. Based on this situation, a global pandemic was instituted by the World Health Organization resulting many restrictions and rising many problems for the medical systems all around the world. In this paper we would like to present some of the applications of modern technologies that helped, in way or another, in the fight against the pandemic, b eing sometimes a helping hand in the global fight against this virus.
