Abstract: Currently, the Novel Coronavirus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, have 3,49,47,761 confirmed cases, including 980 031 deaths till 4th October 2020 globally, reported by World Health Organization. The virus is transmitted from human to human but it can also transmitted from a surface to human. An advisory given by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (Govt. of India) that Spraying of individuals or groups with chemical disinfectants is NOT recommended under any circumstances. Chemical sanitization leads to potentially gastrointestinal effects, bronchospasm, irritation of eyes and mucous membrane, as a whole severe health issues. There is an urgent necessity to find a safe mass sanitization technique that may slow down the spread of virus. The aim of this study is to develop a herbal mass-sanitization formulation prepared from neem bark extract (Azadirachta Indica) as potential inhibitors for COVID-19 Main Protease. A sensor based Mass Sanitization Sprinkler is an innovative technique which can sanitize people within 30 seconds in a crowed area. It is very cost effective, uses safe and effective herbal sanitization formulation. Anti-microbial / viral screening of this formulation has been done and tested in laboratory. This would be an effective approach as a biosafety system which will act as a multi-barrier concept and maintain virus free campus. Hence this system promotes healthy hygiene and provides protection for future.
