Design and Development of Face Mask Reminder Box Technology using Arduino Uno

ABSTRACT

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 pandemic on 12 Mar, 2020, due to the growth in the number of cases worldwide. WHO advises wearing a face mask and practicing social distancing, which has played a crucial role in prevention and control measures that can prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thus, this paper presents the process through which face mask box is equipped with a voice reminder and sensor. It is made with the help of an Arduino Uno board to give awareness or reminder whenever a person is alerted with a voice reminder to wear a face mask before going outside. It can be helpful, especially in the pandemic era, as a new norm of practice in wearing a mask.
