COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic and dangerous of coronavirus disease 2019. It caused by the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 spreads most often when people are physically close. And, it spreads very easily and sustainably through the air, primarily via small droplets or aerosols, as an infected person breaths, coughs, sneezes, sings or speaks. The recommended preventive measures include hand washing, covering one’s mouth when sneezing or coughing, physical distancing, wearing a face mask in public, ventilation and air-filtering, disinfecting surfaces, and monitoring and self-isolation for people exposed or symptomatic. Hence, this paper proposed the architecture of physical distancing detection system with distance sensor which deployed on UAV System with the help of BTS (2G/3G/4G/5G) to enrich the COVID-19 preventive measures, as well as I have also developed a few algorithms for distance sensor (on UAV System) operations which sensing, tagging and disseminating the current distance, position and waiting time of resident’s information, and forwarding schemes to respective infrastructures and suspected residents including the security forces.

Abstract


COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic and dangerous of coronavirus disease 2019. It caused by the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 spreads most often when people are physically close. And, it spreads very easily and sustainably through the air, primarily via small droplets or aerosols, as an infected person breaths, coughs, sneezes, sings or speaks. The recommended preventive measures include hand washing, covering one’s mouth when sneezing or coughing, physical distancing, wearing a face mask in public, ventilation and air-filtering, disinfecting surfaces, and monitoring and self-isolation for people exposed or symptomatic. Hence, this paper proposed the architecture of physical distancing detection system with distance sensor which deployed on UAV System with the help of BTS (2G/3G/4G/5G) to enrich the COVID-19 preventive measures, as well as I have also developed a few algorithms for distance sensor (on UAV System) operations which sensing, tagging and disseminating the current distance, position and waiting time of resident’s information, and forwarding schemes to respective infrastructures and suspected residents including the security forces.
