Abstract:

In accordance with the guidelines of World Health Organization (WHO) to guard from Covid-19 the hand wash and /or sanitization is mandatory for every person irrespective of their health condition. However, sanitizing their hands when and where is needed protects not only Corona virus but contagious likewise bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine or medicine for COVID-19 so far. Many scientists world wide working with indefatigably energy to find out specified solution. Therefore, until to get a solution it is recommended to practice hygienic lifestyle including frequent hand washing with soap and sanitizing hands (80% ethanol-based). In general observation, conventionally operated water taps need to be replaced with remote or pedal operated system to open/close the tap. In this paper a new pedal operated hand sanitizing and washing machine has been designed and manufacturing at cheaper cost. Further focused on minimal wastage of soap, sanitizer and water. A interlocking mechanism has been introduced protect from stealing. Finally, the mechine is successfuly operated several days on diversed people and outcome has been discussed.
