Telecommunication network has been used widely in our daily lives in numerous ways with vast number successful stories. Throughout the world the number of people benefited by the telecommunication and mobile technology enabled with internet is tremendously increasing. Telecommunication technology based applications are providing versatile services in various domains such as health care, education and disaster management. Now, telecommunication technology has contributing vast services to humankind in facing and dealing with COVID-19 pandemic. Hence, the objective of this paper is to review in detail about the significant role of telecommunication technology and MHealth in the fight against the deadly COVID-19 virus. Furthermore, this paper describes about the telecommunication technology and MHealth app for remote monitoring and diagnosis of infective patient, monitoring the quarantine people to prevent the spread of disease, monitoring the patient after discharge.
