This startup uses AI and CCTV visuals to detect face mask, social distancing violations amid COVID-19

The coronavirus pandemic has emerged as a major threat globally. While the number of cases are mounting gradually, the pandemic cannot be controlled by governments alone. The transmission can only be reduced with the complete cooperation of people. Physical distancing, frequent hand washing, and wearing face masks have proved to be effective to control the transmission of the virus, but not everyone is following rules. In this scenario, technological solutions that allow for contactless functioning are gaining prominence.
