IoT based Monitoring Device to Enforce Face Mask wearing which will lessen Covid-19 Transmission

COVID-19 is a deadly contagious sickness that broke out in China in December 2019 in Wuhan city of Hubei Province. From that point, it has blowout to more than 210 countries and territories. Outstanding to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, this one is far a viral disease.

The signs and symptoms of flu with dehydrated cough, painful throat, extraordinary fever, and respiration issues symbolize the sufferers. It is pronounced that over 262,593,580 million human beings were inflamed and greater than five,228,488 million deaths globally at the same time as in Rwanda there are a hundred thousand case and 1,342 death. The maximum affected country with the highest wide variety of instances about 49,301,070 million and 801,326 death being the USA.

Apart from tons effort to fight against the disorder, no treatment to date has been determined even though prevention and control measures are the nice options. Implementing energetic plans and timely decisions have helped countries to limit big unfold of covid-19 amongst their populations. As different nations worldwide, the government of Rwanda enforced preventive measures amongst others were carrying facemasks, well-timed hand washing with clean aquatic and soap or use hand disinfectant, and social distancing, flight suspension, ultimate educational establishments, lockdown and curfew in city and rural areas. In addition, patients were supplied with free-of-charge healthcare in isolation facilities.
These measures were strange to citizens thus it was hard for citizens to willingly follow them. Therefore, to enforce these measures, the government used “Youth Volunteer groups’ country wide to follow up on people and keep on alerting or reminding those forgot to properly wear their mask and sometimes could be taken to be punished. As humans, the youth volunteers sometimes got tired thus not closely monitor how people respect these measures. With these people behaviors, an automated COVID-19 transmission preventive measures enforcing system is needed in order to consistently monitor students and staff on the campus to control the pandemic transmission.

So, this as a cause, a monitoring device to enforce facemask wearing among people to control covid-19 transmission by alerting any one (students and staff) who might in any case violate the measure of facemask wearing in particular, is expected to bring down the pandemic disease spread thus a free of covid-19 pandemic disease community.
