Abstract
To control the COVID-19 outbreak, the Malaysia government has to tighten the rules and add on some standard operating procedures (SOP) for all premises. There will be an entrance registration for people that enter any shops, malls, schools, or offices. This entrance registration will take their identities, such as name, contact number, and current temperature. Thus, the government can easily track down and notify the person if the virus transmission occurs. This paper is mainly about improving the daily registration system to monitor the movement of Malaysians during the Covid-19 outbreak. With that needs in mind, a Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) based identity authentication system is developed and presented in this paper. Users do not need to fill in the manual form or scan the Quick Response (QR) code repeatedly, and instead, they are required to just key in the personal data once at the entrance. The RFID tag is applicable to be used as a self-registration at all premises. It can also keep track of the user identity, and the data will be recorded automatically through a monitoring application every time the users enter or leave the premises.
