Development of an Android Application for COVID-19 using Firebase and Geo-fencing

Abstract

The coronavirus has challenged the lives of many people all around the globe. The widespread use of COVID-19 left people starving with no money and bread. To combat this effect on people the only way is to maintain social distance and be cautious all the time. We put forward a mobile application-based strategy to combat the risk of COVID-19. The motive of the proposed model is to make people aware of COVID-19 cases updates and also notify them at various situations. We developed the mobile application using android studio and made use of Google firebase for the database. COVID-19 cases status along with information related to pandemic and emergency contacts are featured in the application. The outcomes of the application are good in response time as well as in the delivering of notifications.
