SARS-CoV-2, a global pandemic, continues to impact the planet. In response to this epidemic, lockdowns were enforced in several nations, resulting in job losses and changes to the education system. To address these challenges, the implementation of tele-education and remote work was adopted. This study's objective is to address uncertainties about the nations that conducted extensive research on remote activities during the COVID-19 pandemic and their implementation results. Additionally, the study examined research findings that highlighted the benefits of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) tools, such as greater acceptance of remote activities, and found negative effects, like the emergence of new inequalities, providing insights for the accurate implementation of these services. Lastly, the results of the analysis led to a discussion on the prevalence of studies focused on medical sciences and tele-education.
