As the Chinese Lunar New Year approaches, pandemic prevention and control patrols in the Xujiapeng area of Wuhan, Hubei province, have been on the job 24 hours. But now they have new high-tech tools: helmets that can detect fevers, even in large groups of people.
To assist community workers, the smart helmets, known as N910s, are being used in three residential communities in Xujiapeng.
The smart helmets will alert the wearer if a temperature reading is out of the normal range.
"Using smart helmets, our patrol can safely and quickly check the temperatures of people without touching them, which has increased the efficiency for preventing COVID-19," said Hu Fangting, secretary of Changlun community.
