  With the current nations struggling to track the pandemic's trajectories.
There has been a lack of transparency or real-live data streaming for pandemic
cases and symptoms. This phenomenon has led to a rapid and uncontrolled spread
of these deadly pandemics. One of the main issues in creating a global pandemic
tracking system is the lack of standardization of communications protocols and
the deployment of Internet-of-Things (IoT) device sensors. The Open Geospatial
Consortium (OGC) has developed several sensor web Enablement standards that
allow the expeditious deployment of communications protocols within IoT devices
and other sensor devices like the OGC SensorThings application programming
interface (API). In this paper, to address this issue, we outline the
interoperability challenge and provide a qualitative and quantitative study of
the OGC SensorThings API's deployment and its respective server. The OGC
SensorThings API is developed to provide data exchange services between sensors
and their observations. The OGC SensorThings API would play a primary and
essential role in creating an automated pandemic tracking system. This API
would reduce the deployment of any set of sensors and provide real-time data
tracking. Accordingly, global health organizations would react expeditiously
and concentrate their efforts on high infection rates.
