Social distancing is an efficient public health practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, people would violate the social distancing practice unconsciously when they conduct some social activities such as handshaking, hugging, kissing on the face or forehead, etc. In this paper, we present SoDA, a social distancing practice violation alert system based on smartwatches, for preventing COVID-19 virus transmission. SoDA utilizes recordings of accelerometers and gyroscopes to recognize activities that may violate social distancing practice with simple yet effective Vision Transformer models. Extensive experiments over 10 volunteers and 1800+ samples demonstrate that SoDA achieves social activity recognition with the accuracy of 94.7%, 1.8% negative alert, and 2.2% missing alert.
