“…Keeping in view the above situation, a lockdown is not the suitable solution to deal with this pandemic situation. In most countries, there is a very strict lockdown but the pandemic situation is getting worse day-by-day [25][26][27]. The world cannot afford a lockdown of more than one year and some countries (developing and underdeveloped) cannot afford more than six months, otherwise 0 500,000 1,000,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 2,500,000 Meanwhile, due to the lockdown situation [22], the world development process is affected badly and all industrial activities are shut down, which affects every country's stock market and the world faces a loss of more than 17 trillion dollars [23,24].…”

The world is facing a new challenge to overcome the pandemic disease of Coronavirus (COVID-19). An outbreak of COVID-19 to more than 213 countries and territories caused damage to the economy of every country. The proper vaccine to combat this pandemic disease is not invented yet. Due to the lockdown situation, there is a shortage of daily used products globally. To overcome the issue of food shortage and economic survival, the world has to ease the lockdown rules and become operational with the precautionary measures. COVID-19 has a fast transmission rate, therefore, while living with COVID-19, breaking the fast transmission chain of COVID-19 is the only vital solution. Furthermore, there is a dire need to disinfect every individual and his luggage at the entrance of every shopping mall, hospital, public and private institutions, bus stops, metro stations, and railway stations. Hence, the proposed walk-through gate (WTG) with different sensors, i.e., infrared thermal camera, UV disinfectant sensor, disinfectant spraying system, touch-less hand sanitizer, and box having a face mask with a dustbin to discard the previous mask can provide an effective and efficient relief. The world cannot stop working and cannot survive for more than 3–6 months in a lockdown, hence the proposed idea is to install the disinfectant automated spraying WTG with a security walk-through gate at every possible entrance to conform living with the COVID-19 disease such as many other diseases. Breaking the transmission chain is the only solution to win the battle against COVID-19 until an effective vaccine invention.
