This study presents a method for tracking patients from COVID centers using geofencing. This article primarily focuses on developing Android applications that can inform people about COVID-19 containment zones and prevent people from entering these zones. Lockdown and quarantine centers have been set up in India and many other countries to reduce the spread. Using a geofencing framework to monitor someone’s Movement during the quarantine period. Geofencing methodologies provide analysis using a layer of geographic boundaries within the original location and Movement. This simulation demonstrates the importance of the distance parameter and gives warnings based on GPS information. This application also notifies when the user enters the security zone and uploads the user’s girlfriend’s IMEI number to an online database. Therefore, this app can be used as a tool to raise public awareness about Maharashtra people’s new need to be vigilant. A geofencing patient tracking system is a location-based service that uses virtual boundaries to track patient movement within a healthcare facility. With this system, geofences are set up around specific areas within a healthcare facility, and when a patient enters or exits one of these areas, their location is automatically recorded by the system. The system can be used to improve patient safety, improve quality of care and prevent unauthorized access to restricted areas.
