Abstract-COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is a pandemic, which has been
spreading exponentially around the globe. Many countries adopted stay-at-home or
lockdown policies to control its spreading. However, prolonged stay-at-home may
cause worse effects like economical crises, unemployment, food scarcity, and mental
health problems of individuals. This article presents a smart consumer electronics
solution to facilitate safe and gradual opening after stay-at-home restrictions are
lifted. An Internet of Medical Things enabled wearable called EasyBand is introduced to
limit the growth of new positive cases by autocontact tracing and by encouraging
essential social distancing.
