Summary:Covid-19 is a pandemic disease that is affecting people all over the world. The Novel Corona virus spreads mostly through human contact, which includes coughing, sneezing, and even coming into contact with materials used by an infected person. Hence this paper presents a solar powered kiosk for contactless temperature sensor for human and automatic hand sanitizer dispenser with flip gates to monitor and control the spread of covid-19 disease. The main aim is to aid in the prevention and control of corona virus infection, as well as to maintain and improve community health by lowering the infection's detrimental impact on the economy and society. The paper presents the design and development of a kiosk that helps in screening human body temperature and dispense the hand sanitizer with automatic opening of flip gates upon the temperature of human in kiosk is under limits. The temperature of human body is sensed automatically with the help of sensor placed in the kiosk and the dispenser will dispense the sanitizer when the person keeps his/her hand under the dispenser. Once, these two task completes, a flip gate will open automatically, which helps people to come out of the kiosk. A 10 Watt solar PV (Photovoltaic) placed on the roof of the kiosk is used to power up the kiosk. An Arduino Uno is used to control the operations of various actuators used in the system. The kiosk is portable and can be placed at the entrance of malls, offices, educational institute and etc.
