ABSTRACT
This paper introduces and demonstrates a new approach to enhance safety against COVID-19, or other dangerous and contagious diseases, on mainly indoor public spaces, using enhanced privacy protection and an enhanced localization techniques. In most of the existing COVID-19 tracing systems and mobile apps, the focus is on identifying possible infected individuals, that were closed to a human source of transmission. This work includes primarily results and demonstrates a mobile app prototype and a corresponding support system to identify unsafe 'COVID-19 areas', from where infected individuals have recently crossed, so these spots to be avoided by individuals, until they will be characterized again as open to be used. © 2022 IEEE.
