MONTREAL, March 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A situation of concern
In the last few weeks, the situation with a new virus called Coronavirus has become increasingly worrisome. Whether in Italy, China or France, several cases have been reported. Unfortunately, some people who have a weak immune system pass away due to their debilitate body that could not fight the disease.
In the face of this global situation, all government institutions have prepared themselves for different types of situations. However, this is not sufficient as the collaboration of all inhabitants is essential to limit the spread. While the situation is frightening, it is not the time to panic. Thoughtful precautions can help limit the spread of the virus.
Monitor body temperature
A study by Accountemps also shows that 89% of professionals go to their offices even when they have flu or cold symptoms. Preventive measures and precaution are therefore essential to improve safety for all. Technologies such as a thermal imaging cameras, called Scan Fever, are used to everyone’s health safety. This system is designed for mass screening in public places to identify people with a high body temperature, which is an early warning symptom of the coronavirus. This is achieved by displaying a stream of thermal images with the corresponding body temperature on a monitor of every person passing in the field of view of the camera. Those readings are then compared to a threshold value (38.5˚C) which allows the security and health personnel to screen and hospitalize infected individuals.
