Abstract
Covid-19 is a dreadful virus. Since December 2019, the cases around the world are over 15 million with the death rate of 1.2% till April 2021 that staggered the nation worldwide. Due to its contagious nature, it is considered as a pandemic disease by World Health Organization (WHO). Despite all protection, the main advice is to follow social distancing among people. The higher level of exposure on social distancing will decline the curve by 70% to 90%. This research work is to develop a social distancing device as a wearable technology, which will be a great contribution from fashion and textile side to curb the disease firmly. It is achieved by embedding electronics with fashion and designed in such a way to make it as a wearable technology- to give an alarm sound or a blink on arm side and waist bag made as a solution to this problem. To bring it to successful development, three ways were approached for choosing the best one for the product. The traditional arduino nano with sensor, the radio communication using micro bit, and the simulation from image processing methods have been used and tested properly in different conditions. . By wearing this electronic wear which will create an impact of alert system on social distancing for changing the frightened situation go normal, and can turn the world free from the deadly virus.
