Abstract
The conventional method of keeping people at a safe distance in the Covid-19 Standard Operating System could not ensure everyone obeys the rule. An automatic social distancing system needs to be created to assist and train individuals to stay at a safe distance of at least 1 m. This paper proposes a wearable social distancing detector that uses a microcontroller with an ultrasonic sensor to detect the distance between two persons and provides a warning if the person fails to obey the rule. The system could perform social distancing detection accurately and can assist in the movement of people in an area.
