South Korea installs anti-virus bus shelters with temperature sensors

[FfFfFfFF 58,113]

South Korea has opened a high-tech new front in the battle against coronavirus, fortifying bus shelters in the capital with temperature-checking doors and ultraviolet disinfection lamps.

To enter, passengers must stand in front of an automated thermal-imaging camera, and the door will slide open only if their temperature is below 37.5C.

A separate camera is installed lower down to test children.

Inside the glass-walled booths – which cost about 100m won ($84,000) each – the air-conditioning systems have ultraviolet lamps installed to kill viruses at the same time as cooling the air. Free wifi is also included.

Wait so is this bus station powerful enough to destroy the virus if you have it or something?

It will probably remove it from the air and exposed surfaces (which is really easy). But it won't be able to remove the virus from your body once you have it.

The US, a country with 6.3 times the population of South Korea has 557 times the number of deaths (170 thousand vs 305 only) 

For now
