On the 11th day of March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) affirmed COVID-19, as a pandemic, in response to more than 1,000,000 confirmed cases globally in more than 100 nations and the persistent danger of spreading further. As of 2022, vaccines are already available, making a significant breakthrough in fighting the catastrophe. Aside from the vaccine, health experts are advised to strictly take standard safety precautions to lessen the transmission of the virus, especially for those who haven't already been vaccinated. Physical distance, that is, maintaining a minimum distance of at least one meter (1m) between two individuals, is one of the foremost proactive measures advised by WHO.[1] This study creates a wearable device that users can wear inside a specific indoor venue to maintain physical distancing and monitor their real-time position. It is a simple device that is easy to use and is built using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The device can also be used for future data analysis, like analyzing foot traffic within a specific venue and, most importantly, for contact tracing purposes in case, COVID-19 transmission occurs. The system can be viewed online via a web application that includes the current users' indoor position, distance measurements, and activity logs to view the list of visitors inside the establishment, including their details and assigned Tag.
