Abstract : The World Health Organization (WHO) describes COVID-19 as a pandemic that is causing a worldwide health disaster. Wearing a face mask in public places is the most effective method to curb the spread of the virus. The Internet of Things is emerging as one of the most significant innovations and playing a vital role during the pandemic. Affordable remote health monitoring devices help doctors to track quarantined patients. Our government is trying its best to control the spread of the virus. Citizens who do not follow the protocols serve as the reason for these widespread infections. Our work proposes a system to identify protocol violators in real-time. Our system consists of a face mask detection module, a social distance monitoring module, and a non-contact temperature monitoring module. We intend to deploy our proposed approach in public places such as airports, schools, and hospitals. These modules depend on video feeds from general security cameras and IoT sensor nodes deployed around public areas. Health care and security officials can subscribe to real-time data feeds to track public behaviour.
