This paper proposes virus can spread through the saliva and through an automatic social distancing gate and body human contact. temperature detection sensor that uses infrared, A major challenge to prevent the COVID19 ultrasonic, and infrared thermometer sensors to infection is imposing social distancing especially in maximize efficiency and minimize cost. The ultrasonic public places. Thus, we have come up with an and infrared sensors are coupled with a speaker to automated social distancing gate and body monitor and maintain the social distancing of people temperature machine using Arduino Uno driven entering the gate. An automatic non-contact, body ultrasonic, infrared and infrared thermometer temperature is installed at the end of the entrance to sensors. check the temperature of individuals before finally entering the vicinity. A buzzer alarms when the 2. LITERATURE SURVEY detected body temperature is above normal to signal the gate personnel for immediate action. Arduino Uno The use of Arduino Uno has been proposed to solve runs the sensors, speaker and buzzer. environmental and health issues like the segregation of garbage[4][5][6] and health monitoring with Key Words: COVID-19, social distancing gate, LM35 temperature sensor[7]. Shinde et al.(2019) Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor, infrared also used the same type of body temperature sensor thermometer sensor with NodeMCU and their data were stored in the Cloud thereafter. [8] While the use of LM35 is costMOTIVATION: Physical/Social distancing of 1 meter effective, its direct contact sensing feature makes it a has been recommended as one of the best solutions possible medium for virus contagion when used for to stop the spread of COVID-19[2]. The coming in mass body temperature monitoring. and out of people in public entrance and exit gates is one of the scenarios wherein people tend to come in Today, with the COVID-19 pandemic, non-contact close contact with each other. Moreover, in the body infrared thermometers have become widely Philippines, human body temperature is simply available in the market. The accuracy of these monitored manually in every public entrance. This thermometers has already been proven to fit health poses additional risk of contacting the virus with the care needs in febrile persons for obtaining body social distancing being held at stake. Thus, this temperatures [9][10][11]. proposal of automating the social distance and body Moreover, social distancing gadgets are available in temperature monitoring in public entrance gates the market to help prevent the spread of the COVIDusing robotics emerged. 19 virus. However, despite the effectiveness of these social distancing gadgets, the cost of purchasing such 1. INTRODUCTION gadgets per person could be a burden. Therefore, a social distancing system installed in public places is The COVID19 pandemic which started in Wuhan, much more practical such as the Raspberry pi-driven, China last December 2019 has brought on a new era OpenCV system that was proposed to monitor social and new way of life- a new reality wherein social distancing on pedestrian lanes [12]. distancing has become a must for survival.
