CTAP: Covid-19 Tracking Application

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an android mobile application, Covid-19 tracking application, that checks the social distance between the users, informs them of any encounter with a user positively tested with the virus, and informs the user of the basic coronavirus stats and information. This proposed application has been successfully implemented using Kotlin for the front-end, and Java for the back-end. The implementation of this application resulted in alerting the users who are violating social distancing by standing less than 2 meters next to other users, and notifying them of any encounter with a user positively tested with Covid-19. The percentage of error in distance measurement using Global Positioning System (GPS) is low, having an average value of 3.304%.
