Thermal scanning at workplace is must in COVID-19 scenario: Govt. mandate

The primary step that is advised for all workplaces includes the implementation of thermal scanning and fever detection techniques at the entrance of the facility.  The Ministry of Health has also put forward a mandate for the provision for thermal scanning at all public spaces and organisations.

A necessary point to understand about this method is that the thermal imaging cameras can only detect, measure and document the variations of skin surface temperatures and does not define if someone is sick or healthy.
