The COVID-19 outbreak, which started in Wuhan, China, spread worldwide and posed a threat to human life. Every country put immense effort into ensuring the safety of its residents and every measure is taken went in vain as the virus continued to adapt and spread. While several healthcare experts studied the virus to find a cure, others found ways to pinpoint infections from the virus.
Identifying the symptoms of the novel coronavirus became more important as it could help to set a barrier against the spread. How would you detect a virus that is so new that experts are still studying it? Not every person who was infected showed the same symptoms, and some infected individuals were asymptomatic as well. But the most common symptom of the novel coronavirus was fever, dry cough, and tiredness.
As a preventive measure, thermal scanners were introduced in various public places. A thermal scanner is an effective tool in detecting a fever, a condition where your body temperature is higher than normal temperature. As the infection was new to everyone, thermal scanners were used as the first protective barrier. Though they cannot detect if a person is infected with the novel coronavirus, thermal scanners can detect if a person has a fever, and prevent a possible spread.
