| dc.description.abstract | Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) being an acute respiratory disease caused by a novel
corona virus (SARSCoV-2) is transmitted in most instances through respiratory droplets, direct
contact with cases, and also through contaminated surfaces/objects. Though the virus survives on
environmental surfaces for varied periods, it gets easily inactivated by disinfectants. Therefore,
this project aims to highlight the role of surface disinfection and hand disinfection during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Disinfection with appropriate and recommended physical or chemical
disinfectants will not only reduce the spread of the disease but also play a significant part in
flattening the curve. Alcohol-based disinfectants and other chemical disinfectants play major
roles. Ether, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, other chlorine-containing
disinfectants, peracetic acid, chloroform used under appropriate concentrations and techniques
are necessary to stop the chain of transmission. Hand disinfection using soap and water or
alcohol-based hand rubs are also of equal importance. Irrespective of the importance, the
judicious use of disinfectants is also necessary. Therefore, the fastest, easiest, and most effective
way to halt or reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 the virus resulting in the corona virus disease
(COVID-19) is through surface disinfection and hand washing with soap and water and its role
in the COVID-19 pandemic is highly important. In this project we use arduino microcontroller
development board to make a system by which we can disinfect virus from human body by hand
sanitizer disposer so that anybody can use the sanitizer without touching anything | en_US |
