Abstract

The research paper proposes a cheap implementation of social distancing measures that could be developed through cheap IOT sensors and existing pathogen blocking devices such as plastic face shields to combat the spread of COVID-19. The prototype system is fitted into the hard-plastic face shield with IoT sensors such as ultrasonic sensors, buzzer, and a battery controlled through an Arduino to be able to alert the surroundings of the area through the connected buzzer which activates if the user's interactions with others are detected to be too physically close and not in observance with the one-meter safety distance protocol appropriate for COVID-19 practice of social distancing.
