ABSTRACT

The rampant corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought

global crisis with its deadly spread more than 220 countries and territories.
There are currently 160,354,313 confirmed cases and about 3,332,325
people have died so far from the COVID-19 outbreak as of May 12, 2021.
It is recommended solution by World Health Organization (WHO) to
minimize the spread of COVID-19 in public places. The term social-
distancing is a way to stop or slow the spreading of contagious disease. In
other words, it means less physical communication between two or more
persons. In social-distancing the gap between 2 persons is 6 feet (two
meters). In this short note we propose a proximity-based alarming device
that alerts the user when he or she crosses the threshold social-distancing
limit. This equipment will help people to maintain safe distance among
themselves that ultimately help avoidance of spreading corona virus. This
model is the integration of the proximity sensor and an alarming
mechanism.
 INTRODUCTION
Several health organizations, medical experts and scientists are trying to
develop proper medicines and vaccines for this deadly virus, but till date, no
success is reported. This situation forces the global community to look for
alternate ways to stop the spread of infectious virus. Social distancing is
claimed as the best spread stopper in the present scenario and all affected
countries are locked-down to implement social distancing.
The word “social distancing” is the best practice in the direction of efforts
through a variety of means it aims at reducing the physical contact between
possibly infected individuals and healthy persons.
In this short-note, we are not going to
discuss the medical background of COVID-19.
The primay focus of our work is to warn the people
when they knowingly or unknowingly cross the
threshold social distancing limit that is 6 feet. The
proposed model is an alarming model. fig: an outcome of social-distancing

LITERATURE SURVEY
1. Salman yussof, 2020
The social distancing detection tool was developed to detect the safety distance between people
in public spaces. Initially he used YOLOv3 [13] algorithm was used to detect the pedestrian in the
video frame. From the detection result, only pedestrian class was used and other object classes are
ignored in the application. Hence, these data of detected pedestrians will be used for distance
measurement. Depending on the preset minimum distance any distance less than acceptable distance
between two individuals will be indicated with red lines that serve as precautionary warnings.The
work was implemented using python language.

The of physical distancing is difficult. In general, social distancing or physical distancing is
based upon the notion that droplets travel about three to six feet maximum which was determined
decades ago using what may be considered outdated science today. Reviews about the aerosol nature
of SARS-CoV-2 suggest this idea is an oversimplification and argue that aerosol transmission should
be considered as a route of transmission, in addition to the current droplet and fomite routes. f
aerosols play a large role, physical distancing may be less effective, especially in smaller rooms with
more people and poor ventilation. Among the points made in these reviews is the possibility of
asymptomatic or presymptomatic transmission without coughing or sneezing through regular
respiration and conversation. Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 was shown to have similar properties in
laboratory aerosol experiments to SARS-CoV-1, remaining viable in aerosols for up to 3 hours. Setti
et al. highlight several studies that show that SARS-CoV-2 virus in aerosol forms have the potential
to travel more than 6 feet distance, perhaps as far as 10 to 13 feet or even further with the right
conditions. They emphasize that using the 6 foot social distancing rule must be coupled with the
wearing of masks to counter the effects of aerosols.The concept of social distancing specifically of 6
feet is largely based on what is known about how virus travel through air.
 PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
This study proposes an alarming beep sound when two persons cross the social
distancing limit that is 6 feet for the zone based infection risk analysis. Here the
objective is to develop a model to detect person when he moves closure towards the
other person.

To make a social distancing alaram

we use Arduino Uno, Ultrasonic sensor,
Buzzer, and LED. An ultrasonic sensor
that has an echo pin. It is connected to
Arduino digital pin number 10 and the
trig is connected digital pin 9. LED and
Buzzer negative is connected together
buzzer positive will be connected to the
(D12) pin and LED positive wire will be connected to a (D11) pin. After making
all these connections the circuit is ready.

.
 COMPONENTS REQUIREMENTS
 Arduino UNO
 Spark fun Ultrasonic sensor – HC-SR04
 5mm LED: Red
 Buzzer
 Connecting wires

WORKING :
How does it work? Ultrasonic sensors send waves. These waves are
absolutely invisible and come back after hitting an optical. The trig pin
activates (D11) or (D12). In which we have connected LED and Buzzer. We
have kept a distance of 100cm. We can increase this parameter by modifying
code.
 TARGETED OUTPUTS
Input: human interaction
Output: Alarm generation
If(social-distancing>min threshold limit)
Then
No alarm
Else
Trigger alarm
 CONCLUSION & REFERENCES
In this project, we have tried to help the society tofight against COVID-19.
In the absence of proper facilities, social distancing is the only solution left
with human beings. Hence, incase of emergency interaction or in any other
circumstances when interaction cannot be avoidable by using this social
distancing device that users can maintain a safe distance from each other. The
alarming system of social distancing warns the human when they cross the
threshold minimum safe distance.
