Mosque in Kerala starts smart card system to avoid crowding

A mosque in Kerala’s Kozhikode has found a unique way to avoid crowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee that runs the mosque has started issuing smart cards to people for offering prayers and simultaneously encouraging social distancing.

One who enters the mosque premises has to rub their hands with sanitizers. They also have to tell their identity on camera. The automatic system has been put in place to save the address and phone number. The door of the mosque has sensors and will open automatically on swiping the card.
