A hospital in Nghe An improves body temperature measuring machine to prevent and fight Covid-19
(Baonghean.vn) - The improved body temperature measuring machine ensures a distance of over 2m between medical staff and the person whose temperature is being measured, instead of having to be in close contact as before.
On the morning of April 3, the Northwest Regional General Hospital (Nghe An) has just put into use a new body temperature measuring machine. The machine is placed at the hospital gate, measuring the body temperature of patients and their relatives to prevent the Covid-19 epidemic.

Operating principle: The person whose body temperature needs to be measured stands on the system that raises and lowers to ensure that the forehead is in the correct position of the mini body temperature measuring device. At this time, the medical staff sitting remotely will press to activate the mini body temperature measuring device. The body temperature measurement result will be recorded by the camera and transmitted to the computer screen for the medical staff to know./.
