Abstract

To reduce the dispersion of COVID - 19, people need to maintain safe distance from each other. This paper proposes a mobile application solution that keeps track of the COVID - 19 positive individuals in a certain area. With the help of the infected person's position uploaded in the cloud system, a location-based recommendation (i.e. informing people about a danger zone) is provided to the related users. Taking the pandemic into consideration, a proper visualization of users' location is made on the map using geospatial hotspot and location-based services. This paper describes the development of the mobile application that uses GPS data to pinpoint the infected person's location and create a danger zone based on the information. The accuracy of the services (provided by the application) was tested and confirmed through experiments.
