One feature of the COVID-19 virus that makes it difficult to contain is that it can be easily spread to others by someone who is not yet infected. The virus carrier may feel fine and go about their daily activities, carrying the virus with them to work, a family member’s home, or public gatherings. The
With a vast majority of the world population owning a smartphone, being able to track someone through their phone is not such a bad idea after all, especially if it is done within legal limits. This is the end result of a recent project developed by engineering student Amine Mehdi Mansouri, whose initial efforts on creating a quick project
