Abstract: In this paper a Raspberry Pi based automated solution system focused on the real-time face monitoring of people to detect both face masks and body temperature with the help of MLX90614 sensor has been proposed. This is implemented using Python Programming with OpenCV Library, TensorFlow, Dlib Module. A security clearance system is deployed that will allow that person to enter if they are wearing a face mask and their body temperature is in check with WHO guidelines. A programmed hand sanitizer apportioning machine is mechanized, non-contact, liquor-based hand sanitizer gadget. Liquor is essentially a dissolvable, and furthermore a generally excellent sanitizer when contrasted with fluid cleanser or strong cleanser, likewise it needn't bother with water to wash off since it is unpredictable furthermore, disintegrates in a split second after application to hands. It is too demonstrated that a convergence of >70% liquor can execute Covid in hands. Here, we have used IR sensor detects the hand put close to it, the Arduino Uno is utilized as a microcontroller, which detects the distance and the outcome isthe pump starts running out the hand sanitizer. Thus, the above said system will help the society by saving time and also helps in contaminating the spread of coronavirus. This can be implemented in public places such as colleges, schools, offices, shopping malls, etc. to inspect people.

WHO determined COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 9, 2020, which is the strongest push for this community service program to be carried out. WHO has published guidance on adjusting the MFIs while managing the risk of a spike in case numbers. WHO publishes guidance on adapting to LKMS, while still managing the risk of a re-increase in the number of cases. A series of measures was developed to help provide guidance to countries in adapting public health measures to various contexts and this provides consideration for decision makers. In connection with the policy of controlling infectious disease outbreaks, Indonesia has Law Number 4 of 1984 concerning Communicable Disease Outbreaks, Government Regulation Number 40 of 1991 concerning Management of Contagious Disease Outbreaks, and Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 1501 / Menkes / Per / X / 2010 concerning Certain Types of Infectious Diseases That Can Cause Outbreaks and Countermeasures. Including various policies to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic issued by the government. One of them is the Large-Scale Social Restrictions or PSBB at the end of March. Citing Article 1 paragraph 11 of Law (UU) Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine, PSBB is a limitation of certain activities of residents in an area suspected of being infected with a disease and / or contamination in such a way as to prevent the possibility of spreading disease or contamination. The policy covers at least school and work vacations, restrictions on religious activities and restrictions on activities in public places or facilities, including the socialization of washing hands using hand sanitizer which can be done in certain situations where soap and clean water are not available. For the results to be effective, the hand sanitizer used should contain at least 60% alcohol. This step is a necessity in order to prevent Covid-19 from becoming more widespread. The goal to be achieved from the socialization of good and correct hand washing is to understand the procedures, and be able to practice how to wash hands properly and correctly. It is hoped that in this socialization there will be a change in behavior in the community in washing hands as often as possible properly and correctly.

AbstractHandwashing is the most cost-efficient method to lower the risk of the transmission of infectious diseases. Especially before eating in public places like cafeterias, handwashing is recommended. Often, people do not wash their hands before eating because of the response effort associated with going to the bathroom. As an alternative way to improve hygiene, disinfection with a hand sanitizer gel is recommended. The current study used an A-B-C-A design (and a no-intervention control site) with prompts and feedback to increase the number of cafeteria patrons using hand sanitizer. Dispensers for hand sanitizer gel were placed at the entrance area of two halls of a university cafeteria. Intervention took place in one hall, whereas the other served as a control. After baseline, a poster explaining the usefulness of hand sanitizing was posted near the entrance of the cafeteria. This led to a doubling of the percentage of cafeteria patrons using the hand sanitizer, from 10.79% during baseline to 24.45%. A second poster provided feedback about the percentage of patrons sanitizing their hands and asked for more participation. This led to no further increases in hand sanitizing (23.73%). After all posters were removed, the percentage dropped to 15.63% in the mean. This research demonstrated that a simple, informative prompt can have a considerable impact on hand-sanitizing behavior. However, the role of feedback in such interventions remains questionable.

This article is motivated by the increasing of covid-19's cases in Indonesia in general and the concern to society of Manggarai who are not wearing masks when they are outside the home, especially in public places such as markets, terminals, and shopping areas. The distribution of the masks for free also depends on the limitations of masks in the markets, and if there is still some stock, they are cost higher than normal prices. The distribution of those masks for free is done to build public awareness to overcome covid-19. This activity was on May 7, 2020 at Puni traditional market of Ruteng. The target of this activity were all people living around Puni Ruteng. The method used is the distribution of masks for free to all levels of the society, while hand sanitizer only distributed to the driver of public transportations which often did direct contact with the passengers every day. In addition to that, the team of PKM gives some explanation about how to wash hands by using hand sanitizer for health, how to wear a mask and the duration of time wearing masks. In this activity, each person has received 2 pieces of masks given by PKM's team so they can be replaced every day. The result of this activity can increase people's awareness of the importance of maintaining health, and tackling the spread of covid-19 in the district of Manggarai in general

Right now the world is facing the Covid-19 outbreak virus, not least in Indonesia. This outbreak has been a pandemic since its inception at the end of 2019. The whole world is struggling to fight this pandemic, as well as in Indonesia where every struggle is increasing so much. All public places are temporarily closed to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The school became one of the public places that was temporarily closed in order to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the school environment. There are many causes for the transmission of the Covid-19 virus and the losses that can result from the Covid-19 virus. Therefore the purpose of this study is to be able to use hazards, risks and risk control using the Danger Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) methods in the school environment. Risk identification is done by descriptive research methods, namely the results of research data and related journals available. The results of the study can be known about the activities that exist in the school environment that are needed for distribution and transmission of the Covid-19 virus. There are 14 main activities with 34 potential hazards, expected 13 activities with a high risk category and 1 activity with a high risk category. To be able to control the danger, use protection, wear a mask, always wash your hands using soap and running water and always be ready for hand sanitizer. Saat ini dunia sedang dihadapkan dengan wabah virus Covid-19, tak terkecuali di Indonesia. Wabah tersebut sudah menjadi pandemi sejak awal kemunculannya di akhir tahun 2019. Seluruh dunia sedang berjuang untuk melawan pandemi tersebut, begitu juga di Indonesia yang setiap harinya mengalami kenaikan yang begitu besar. Semua tempat umum di tutup untuk sementara untuk mencegah penyebaran virus Covid-19. Sekolah menjadi salah satu tempat umum yang ditutup untuk sementara guna untuk mencegah penyebaran virus Covid-19 di lingkungan sekolah. Terdapat banyak sekali penyebab penularan virus coviddan kerugian yang didapat dari virus Covid-19.

— Sanitizing hands is a simple act that pays in dividends when it comes to keeping ourselves healthy and safe. Hand sanitizing is also one of the key cornerstones of COVID- 19 prevention. Using a squeezing type sanitizer container spout in public places (hospitals, schools, shopping centers, industry plants and workplaces) is unsafe as it was touched by many hands. Therefore there is a need of automate the squeezing operation which guarantee a legitimate cleanliness and safe to use as touch less operation. Proposed unit is based on pre-programmed electronics and an inbuilt ultrasonic sensor. It detects hands when it comes in its programmed range and machine start pouring set amount of liquid into hand. Additionally there is preset delay is provided to serviceable and efficient use.

Borno State, Nigeria has experienced active COVID-19 with quite a number of cases and mortalities. The extensive global campaign to create awareness about the pandemic and safety measures through various stakeholders appeared to have worked, especially when it became obvious that people in Borno keyed into safety protocols and observed the lockdown. They wore face masks, routinely applied hand sanitizers and handwashing in public places. It was observed, at some points however, there was obvious nonadherence to these protocols. Therefore, this study examines adherence to COVID-19 safety protocol issues in the state. Could the noncompliance be by those not aware or knowledgeable about the pandemic? Are there issues with the sources of information? The objectives of the study are to determine: the sources of information/knowledge on COVID-19; the effectiveness of the sources of information/knowledge on COVID-19; level of compliance to COVID-19 preventive/safety measures, and to identify challenges in complying with COVID-19 safety/preventive measures. The study used knowledge, attitude and practice theory employed survey method as well as convenience and purposive sampling techniques to select 2949 respondents across three LGAs in the state. The study found that people are aware and knowledgeable about the pandemic. The mass media, especially radio are the major sources of information. The noncompliance to COVID-19 safety protocol is largely due lack of fund to purchase and use face mask and hand sanitizer. It concludes that there are diverse sources of knowledge and information with poor compliance to the safety protocols in Borno State.

Background: The use of a touchless automated hand sanitizer dispenser may play a key role to reduce contagious diseases. The key problem of the conventional ultrasonic and infra-red-based dispensers is their malfunctioning due to the interference of sunlight, vehicle sound, etc. when deployed in busy public places. To overcome such limitations, this study introduced a laser-based sensing device to dispense sanitizer in an automated touchless process. Method: The dispensing system is based on an Arduino circuit breadboard where an ATmega328p microcontroller was pre-installed. To sense the proximity, a light-dependent resistor (LDR) is used where the laser light is to be blocked after the placement of human hands, hence produced a sharp decrease in the LDR sensor value. Once the LDR sensor value exceeds the lower threshold, the pump is actuated by the microcontroller, and the sanitizer dispenses through the nozzle. Results and discussion: A novel design and subsequent fabrication of a low-cost, touchless, automated sanitizer dispenser to be used in public places, was demonstrated. The overall performance of the manufactured device was analyzed based on the cost and power consumption, and environmental factors by deploying it in busy public places as well as in indoor environment in major cities in Bangladesh, and found to be more efficient and cost-effective compared to other dispensers available in the market. A comprehensive discussion on this unique design compared to the conventional ultrasonic and infra-red based dispensers, is presented to show its suitability over the commercial ones. The guidelines of the World Health Organization are followed for the preparation of sanitizer liquid. A clear demonstration of the circuitry connections is presented herein, which facilitates the interested individual to manufacture a cost-effective dispenser device in a relatively short time and use it accordingly. Conclusion: This study reveals that the LDR-based automated hand sanitizer dispenser system is a novel concept, and it is cost-effective compared to the conventional ones. The presented device is expected to play a key role in contactless hand disinfection in public places, and reduce the spread of infectious diseases in society.

<p class="BodytextMaJER">Some protocols published by WHO during this outbreak are to keep safe distance with minimum 1 meter, wear face masks especially in public places. Other health protocols such as wash hands using soap or hand sanitizer or have shower after being at home from work or other places are also being campaigned by government. However, most information provided used difficult language and hard to understand by children. This study therefore attempts to combine all of those backgrounds by creating a digital game related to Covid-19 which hopefully will provide positive contribution during this hard time. Furthermore, this game attempts to cover the right for children to access online gaming while keep educating them and protecting them from negative influences. This research employed Doppler Interactive Game Design Life Cycle as proposed by Joshua McGracth which basically consists of 6 iterative phases (Ramadan &amp; Widyani, 2013), but here stopped at the testing process. Software used to develop this game were Adobe Flash and Adobe Premiere. The development if this game is also assessed appropriate by parents and English teachers in terms of the layout, the language or terms appropriateness, and the effectiveness.</p>
