3rd Place
Automated Covid-19 prevention station at libraries
This project aims to combat COVID-19. The team aim to install a station in libraries. Visitors would have to pass through it before proceeding. The station would have the ability to control crowd, sanitize visitors, and display number of current visitors. This device is fully automated, where the number of people in the library would be controlled without the need of human interference. By limiting number of people and sanitizing them, the risk of COVID-19 transmission would drastically reduce.
