As we know, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading to all over the world. COVID-19 can be spread through direct or indirect or close contact with the people infected. Hence, we decided to create a machine which is an automatic sanitizer that can sanitize that door handle. Door handle can increase the transmission of the virus because people always have a direct contact with it especially in busy places such as hospitals or banks. We use movement of the door to activate the water pump and motor to rack and pinion. It will lift the sponge holder which will be sliding along the door handle. The sanitizer will move by gravity onto the door handle and the sponge will wipe the door handle.
