Certain devices and applications play a major role and have found importance during this period
During this pandemic, several measures are being taken to curb the spread of COVID-19. Certain technologies played a major role and have found importance during this period. To begin with, even before the lockdown came into the picture, infrared thermometers were used to do fever screening all over the world to facilitate a touch-free means of measuring temperature. Today, it has become routine. Post the lockdown, there were few technologies which were used for governance and to curb the movement of the public. CCTV cameras and Artificial Intelligence-based video analytics for crowd and traffic monitoring turned out to be useful to ensure that people are not violating the lockdown morms. These cameras were also useful to monitor the entry and exit of vehicles during the nationwide lockdown. Special types of cameras such as thermal cameras also came into the picture to provide contactless monitoring of temperature of people at public spots.More Related News
