Abstract: This paper aimed to identify tools based on Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing techniques for monitoring Covid-19 cases in Angola and to propose data for the development of other technologies. Methods: This is an exploratory study that used bibliometrics and content analysis as methodological tools. Results: The study made it possible to identify more than 23 digital and online technologies for Geographic Information Systems and Remote Detection for monitoring Covid-19 cases in Angola. Of this universe, 15 technologies had an international scope, 8 african and 1 national, although some could be used in Angolan context. There was a predominance of technologies such as "maps" and "graphics". The research indicates some data that can be cross-checked in the development of Covid-19 case monitoring tools. Conclusion: The study allowed the survey of Geographic Information Systems and Remote Detection tools to monitor Covid-19 cases in Angola; in addition, it proposed data for the development of new technologies more suitable for the monitoring of Covid-19 cases in an Angolan context. Due to its content, the article may be useful in monitoring the registration of Covid-19 cases from a spatial point of view.
