Abstract

Electronic appointments booking systems contribute to facilitating the work of companies and institutions. With the current situations caused by the spread of the COVID-19, these systems have become ineffective. Many procedures have been forced to reduce the spread of the COVID-19, including social distancing, which emphasizes keeping a safe distance between people. This paper presents a literature review of QR code applications and social distancing techniques that aid in developing smart appointments booking systems for social distancing.
