To enhance the efficacy of the screening process of flyers at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, a mass fever screening system has been installed at the Hyderabad International Airport.
The screening system is capable of detecting and tracking febrile persons with elevated body temperature. It automatically adjusts and adapts to the surrounding temperature without any human intervention.
With its intuitive user interface and dual-displays of day camera and infra-red, it provides easy identification of passengers with elevated temperature while simplifying operations and minimizing handling.
After going through the screening process, the flyers proceed for immigration clearance. Glass shields have also been installed at the immigration counters to avoid any personal contact between the flyers and the immigration officers.
Speaking on the initiative, CEO GMR Hyderabad International Airport Pradeep Panicker said, “We are thankful to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in having this modern equipment installed at the Hyderabad International Airport. We are grateful to the sponsors ADB and UNICEF for this humane gesture.” With this facility, the task of the health officials at the airport has become easy and has reduced the risk of them getting infected, he added.
Hyderabad International Airport has been handling international relief flights under the Vande Bharat Mission. It has handles more than 40,000 international arrivals during the Covid-19 pandemic from May 2020 till date.
