The year 2020 will remain in the memory of all mankind as the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has affected the world economy, caused more than a million deaths in 2020 alone, changed the way people work and learn and, last but not least, changed the way people interact in society. Social distancing, along with wearing a face mask, is the best solution to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus. What happens when in certain spaces social distance is difficult and can be accidentally violated without intention? In the absence of widely available tests, not only for people but also for surfaces or indoor air, the risk of contamination is very difficult to assess. This paper proposes a simple method, with low cost and widely implementable, to warn of respecting the density of people in a room. It proposes a dual monitoring system based on Internet of Things (IoT) to assess the indoor air quality and risk of COVID-19 transmission.
