The Police department in the UAE is deploying smart helmets that can examine the body temperatures of hundreds of citizens every minute in their effort to fight the novel coronavirus. The helmets, which require less time and less contact than conventional thermometers, can detect temperatures from five metres (16 ft) away and scan up to almost 200 people a minute, triggering an alert if a high temperature is detected.
