Design and Implementation of A Sterilizer Box to Stop the Spread of COVID-19

Coronavirus transmission via cough, sneeze or touch causes COVID-19, a highly contagious illness. Proper hand sanitizing is the single most effective way to stop the spread of diseases. This paper aims to build a contactless electronic sterilizing box used for hand sterilizing by using Arduino, an infrared sensor, and a pump. The device also measures other features like ambient temperature and humidity, person height, and heart rate. The device was mounted on the wall and appropriately tested on subjects; the study concludes that the use of indirect hand sterilizing by attracting the person to measure their height or heart rate and force them to sterilize their hands before the test helps to increase the number of persons who sterilize their hand, in other words, to stop the spread of COVID 19.
