In late 2019, a new virus emerged in Wuhan, China, causing an infectious disease. This disease quickly spread across the globe. On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of COVID-19 a global pandemic. Covid‐19 (Coronavirus) has significantly affected the global economy. The series of recent migration crises, immigration rules have also been strengthened in many countries ^[1]. The impacts of coronavirus are most apparent at the international business level due to the restrictions on travel. The aim of this article is to discuss about the loss acquired by the hospitals and to overcome form this crisis. Suggestions for acting in a more dynamic and innovative manner are provided that highlight the importance of utilizing telemedicine and artificial intelligence(AI) in healthcare delivery in time of crises. Telemedicine has become an increasingly popular option for long distance or virtual medical care and education. Telemedicine ventures during the conceptualization phase can play a pivotal role in reducing risks and costs, while increasing their probability of success ^[2]. AI can deliver effective insights and solutions in a timely, wide scale fashion to help halt the current pandemic ^[3].
