Nowadays, the biggest threat to mankind is COVID-19. This is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-Co V-2. It is must to control and stop the spreading of this disease. This paper is proposed to control the spread of this pandemic at the entry point of railway stations, metro stations, and aerodromes. The testing of COVID-19 is the most significant remedy to control, contain and reduce the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper proposes an embedded system design, which can be used at the entry point of aerodromes, railway stations, and metro stations, especially from an Indian perspective. This system can be used to analyze x-ray results of the lungs of the passenger who is entering the railway stations, aerodromes, and metro stations. The proposed system comprises a portable X-ray machine and an embedded system which consists of a Raspberry Pi Board ( Model B), that will be interfaced with a data input module, SD card slot, display monitor at HDMI port, LEDs, and buzzers. The system compares the passenger's X-ray image at the entry point of railway stations, aerodromes, and metro stations with the X-ray image of a COVID-19 patient, which is already stored in the SD card. If the similarity is found between the X-ray image taken at entry and the X-ray of a COVID-19 patient, at that moment, buzzers and LEDs will be activated. This system can be very much useful to restrict the spreading of infection of COVID-19.
