description | The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is causing loss of lives and property all over the world. There have been more than 2.1 million cases of COVID-19 with a death of more than 1.2 lakh patients worldwide and the numbers are still rising. The virus spreads rapidly by the droplets coming out from the nose and mouth of an infected person (Sandoiu in Why does SARS-CoV-2 spread so easily? Medical news today, 2020 https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/why-does-sars-cov-2-spread-so-easily). In this situation, proper quarantining and monitoring of the already infected patients are very essential. In cases where patients need to be transferred to different locations by ambulances, monitoring of these ambulances by the traffic police can help to ensure distancing and faster movement of the vehicle inside the city. This paper presents the development of a Real-time Global Positioning System-based tracking app for the ambulances carrying COVID-19 patients which would help traffic police to ensure distancing the patients from the public. |
