Coronavirus disease (covid-19) is a global pandemic, and every country is actively fighting against the virus. It is an effective way to prevent the spread of the virus in finding the person with abnormal temperature promptly to perform the further medical observation. However, the traditional method of temperature measurement has low efficiency and accuracy. Body temperature acting as important role in medicine, several diseases is characterized by a change in human body temperature. Monitoring body temperature also allows the doctor to track the effectiveness of treatments. But current continuous body temperature measurement system is mainly limited by reaction time, movement noise, and labour requirement. In addition, the traditional contact body temperature measurement has the problem of wasting consumables and causing discomfort. To address the above issues, we present a non contact, automatic system using a single thermal non-contact sensor. The Proposed Covid prevention method scans body temperature through MLX9014 Contactless Temperature Sensor and sends the data to Raspberry pi model 3+ architecture. Our application takes data from MLX9014 and analyzes it to see whether the temperature is greater than 370 Celsius , which then captures the image through pi camera.
