Objective: In this time of great distress brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, hand sanitization is of utmost priority to prevent the transmission of germs. We have developed an automated hand sanitization and contact tracing device which will be immensely beneficial in flattening the curve of COVID-19 cases Materials and Methods: The device described in this paper automates the preliminary testing of COVID-19 symptoms which are high temperature and low blood oxygen level. This paper addresses the methodological details of the proposed device while also focusing on its UI and the ecosystem of App and the device. Results: The device integrates all the important features for preliminary COVID-19 screening and makes the process of sanitization rapid and easier. Conclusions: This idea is anticipated to be adopted at closed places at first like college campuses, offices, malls, and other buildings, then slowly it can be expanded to cover entire states and track potential patients so they can be advised to maintain quarantine and reduce the risk of spreading the virus.
