P-Tracer: Proximity Detection for Contact Tracing

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has impacted millions of people worldwide. To tackle the spread of disease, governments all over the world had to impose sudden lockdowns with strict restrictions and has resulted in stressing most of the enterprises on the financial fronts. As the governments all over the world are now relaxing the restrictions, businesses are re-opening gradually and employees are returning back to work. There is huge responsibility on the enterprises to stay vigilant when an employee tests positive for COVID-19. To target the issue, we have come up with a contact tracing solution, P-Tracer application which uses users wifi association data from Arista Networks' Cloud-Vision Wifi. This paper shortly presents the P-Tracer application working principle. We claim that the application will be useful in tracing the users association journey and detection of new hot zones and possible new cases.
