Abstract
We are proposing an IoT-based social distancing device as a preventive measure to COVID-19. It uses NodeMCU in conjunction with ultrasonic sensor temperature sensor, while vibrator buzzer is used for an alarming mechanism. The ultrasonic sensor is used to obtain higher accuracy as it uses LOS principle to measure the distance. The alarm will be raised whenever measured distance is found to be less than six feet. Temperature sensor is used to alert the user to isolate them if their body temperature goes above 102 °F, thereby decreasing the transmission possibility of virus in case he is infected with the virus.
