This paper characterises the latest reporting on European and global initiatives to harness IoT in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. In Europe, IoT is part of the solution, with software developed to assist the work of medical staff by analysing images of pulmonary infections as well as use an EU-backed supercomputing platform, to identify a treatment. Globally, IoT is applied for contact tracing, Medical IoT, and Homecare and Telehealth. Prevention measures are in place harnessing big data and surveillance as well as border controls. Robotics, drones, GNSS and autonomous vehicles are increasingly being adopted to assist medical procedures while minimising the spread of the virus.
