COVID-19 SOCIAL DISTANCING SYSTEM IN QUEUE BASED SERVICES USING ANDROID APPLICATION

During the current pandemic time of covid-19, we are urged to maintain a specific amount of social distance to prevent virus spread whenever we visit public places. Maintaining such distance becomes challenging sometimes even with implementation of new standard protocols. The contact can mainly happen when one steps out for essential services, and standing in queues for long hours. This paper aims at decreasing the spread of virus, by reducing the waiting time in queuing scenarios at supermarkets. We propose a Covid-19 social distancing system that complies with social distancing norms at various places. We put forth an Android application for customers and a web application for shopkeepers that operates with a token based system. It works with a system notifying the customer in the form of a message about the availability and turn to visit the supermarket. The paper provides the limitations of existing queue based systems, explanation and working of the proposed system
