The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously disrupted both personal and professional endeavors. The public health reaction to COVID-19 is being supported by digital technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), which can have a big impact on achieving SDGs in developing countries. As a result, the study aims to investigate the fundamental relationship between IoT and SDGs while keeping the COVID-19 emergency in mind. Over the past ten years, the research was carried out by carefully choosing, reviewing, and synthesizing pertinent literature. According to the analysis, the COVID-19 situation has the potential to be one of the most significant factors influencing the adoption of IoT and the achievement of SDGs. This concept provides the ideal framework for digitization in a sustainable development plan to achieve particular targets while avoiding costly infrastructure costs and policy-related constraints. Then, it is investigated how the pandemic has caused new social and technological obstacles for the IoT4D. According to the study's findings, IoT4D should concentrate on using low-cost IoT devices for the SDGs that are most negatively impacted by COVID-19 in the future. After a thorough investigation, it was found that the Smart Internet of Things (IIoT) played a significant role in the pandemic's aftermath, particularly in the field of health. The suggested strategy involves a thorough examination of the new function of the IoT4D for accomplishing the SDGs in our irrevocably altered environment.
Key words: Big-data, COVID-19, Digitalization policy, IoT, SDGs.
