“…During the COVID-19 pandemic the sudden halt of transport networks and people's activity suddenly halted led to a reduction in the various types of pollution and environmental impacts that are associated with anthropogenic activities (6). Remote sensing has been widely applied to monitoring these changes in the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere during the pandemic.…”

“…This study found that drops in the number of flying aircraft over Europe could be detected from Sentinel 2 imagery (47). These social and economic activity-related data can benefit studies on the spatial variation and timing of economic impacts caused by the pandemic (6). A recent study in Western India has investigated the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the fisheries sector (48).…”

“…The preliminary analysis revealed that the reduction in mobility involved reduced economic activity (a decrease in energy consumption as measured by the radiance from the DNB data) that impacted on gross domestic product, poverty levels, and the unemployment rate (49). Although, remote sensing does not replace conventional sources like economic surveys, satellite imagery still offers the advantage of being able to measure a variety of indicators from the same data source, bypassing the complexity of integrating information from heterogeneous sources that have differing formats, spatial and temporal resolutions, and are compiled and stored by different stakeholders in different locations (6). Remote sensing has proved the effectiveness in the assessment of social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…Remote sensing allows acquiring information about the Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it (5). Satellite remote sensing data was used widely by government, humanitarian, and private bodies during the pandemic (6). The information derived from remote sensing imagery has been widely utilized in contexts like sustainable development (7)(8)(9), disaster management (10,11), environmental degradation (12)(13)(14), natural resource management (15)(16)(17)(18) , and climage change studies (19)(20)(21).…”

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has spread worldwide, affecting almost all countries and territories. Various social-economic and environmental factors influence the outbreak and spread of the epidemic. Many modern techniques have been widely employed to study the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to give an overview of applications offered by remote sensing techniques to study the COVID-19 pandemic through summarising a total of 55 scientific papers. Three different issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented under three sub-sections; namely (1) applications of remotely sensed images on monitoring environmental changes and (2) the analysis of social and economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and (3) the use of remote sensing in studies of the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2. The findings of this study provide important insights into how to apply such an advanced techniques as remote sensing in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The varied applications of remote sensing affirms the value of this advanced technique to the study of small-to-large scale disasters in general and of the COVID-19 pandemic in particular.

“…Remote sensing is a broader category of spaceborne sensing that includes satellite imaging, as well as sensing of non-EM characteristics, such as sea surface temperature, vegetation coverage, cloud, aerosol properties, and other physical attributes. It is important to mention that research groups often characterize their work as one or the other, and so we have included both in the systematic review for completeness [20,21].…”

Remote sensing (RS), satellite imaging (SI), and geospatial analysis have established themselves as extremely useful and very diverse domains for research associated with space, spatio-temporal components, and geography. We evaluated in this review the existing evidence on the application of those geospatial techniques, tools, and methods in the coronavirus pandemic. We reviewed and retrieved nine research studies that directly used geospatial techniques, remote sensing, or satellite imaging as part of their research analysis. Articles included studies from Europe, Somalia, the USA, Indonesia, Iran, Ecuador, China, and India. Two papers used only satellite imaging data, three papers used remote sensing, three papers used a combination of both satellite imaging and remote sensing. One paper mentioned the use of spatiotemporal data. Many studies used reports from healthcare facilities and geospatial agencies to collect the type of data. The aim of this review was to show the use of remote sensing, satellite imaging, and geospatial data in defining features and relationships that are related to the spread and mortality rate of COVID-19 around the world. This review should ensure that these innovations and technologies are instantly available to assist decision-making and robust scientific research that will improve the population health diseases outcomes around the globe.
