Abstract
The Covid-19 outbreak has taken the world completely unawares, exposing the vulnerability of public health systems in coping with infectious pandemic. The current death toll of the pandemic is staggering, and it is the need of an hour to eradicate the virus at the earliest and prepare a system that stands tall to armor the world in case the future holds any unpredictable biological or health crisis of this scale. This research work proposes a complete Covid-19 Detection, Tracking and Alerting Mobile Application Kit which helps people to defend against Covid-19 spread. This is a first of its kind application that uses Geofencing and Machine learning together to combat the spread of Coronavirus. This app is a three fold app. The firstfold is a Detection System for a user to undergo a Symptomatic Quiz based on a Risk Assessment ML Model to detect the presence of Covid in the user's body. The second fold is an efficient Tracking system that uses Geofencing technology to keep track of all the people who come into contact with the user. And the third fold is an Alerting system that sends the alert message to all those people who came into contact with the user if the user is tested as Corona positive. Thus, by using the technology, Geofencing allows to perform contact tracing of potential patients and alerts the possible network of people, who might be infected by coronavirus.
