COVID-19 Fencing System & Contact Traceability

COVID-19 is a highly infectious and easily spreadable virus that can become extremely hard to control once it begins to spread. Social isolation/distancing is one of the most important and effective steps one can take to break the chain and to keep healthy people from getting infected.

If an infected person comes into contact with a healthy person then that person gets infected too and when both people come in contact with a third or fourth person, they also get infected, and in this way, the chain continues and this dangerous disease starts to spread throughout the whole country, resulting in the death of a large number of people. Because of these reasons, it becomes important for people to distance themselves from others as much as possible so that they do not contract the virus, or spread it if they’re already infected.

To help with this, today we’re making a device (COVID-19 Fencing System) that will alert healthy people when they go near areas that have been infected by the virus. For this, we use the GPS module and this module will send the location to concerned person’s mail if any person near to isolated areas.
