In present situations, social distancing is the most important fact. Furthermore, the fact is COVID-19 patient's first symptom is body temperature is high. The reason why, measuring body temperature is most important, but needs to maintain social distancing. While traditional thermometers can't make sure of social distancing, where our developed contactless thermometer can achieve temperature on display by using Arduino unoR3 as the main control device as well as MLX90614 as the infrared (IR) thermometer sensor. As a result, compared with the traditional thermometer, it shows strong points such as convenient reading, wide range of temperature measurement, and accuracy where temperature output is displayed digitally. Besides, it would be used everywhere because of its easy-handling.
