Technology companies are rolling out the latest in their arsenal of screening devices to look for COVID-19 symptoms at airports.
Airports equipped with full-body scanners, metal detectors and face-recognition technology to identify potential terrorists are starting to make room for devices to target the latest global threat: travelers infected with the novel coronavirus.
At Los Angeles International Airport, once one of the nation’s busiest airports, interim Chief Executive Justin Erbacci recently announced the creation of a COVID-19 recovery task force that has started to evaluate using thermal cameras, touch-less kiosks and other technologies to screen passengers for the virus.“We have had many vendors reach out to us regarding specific technologies that they have, which may address the goals of this task force,” said Becca Doten, an airport spokeswoman.
last month began to test a booth about the size of an outhouse that takes the temperature of a person, via a thermal camera, before the individual is allowed to enter the sealed enclosure.Inside, a process that relies on ultraviolet light and “nano needles” to pierce the cell membrane of bacteria and viruses is used to disinfect the people who enter. The people who enter the booth are also doused with a sanitation spray. The process takes about 40 seconds.
