COVID-19 Control Measures and Temperature Checks at Airports
Summary
As the world is suffering from the COVID-19 global pandemic, there has been a growing desire to implement temperature checks at airports to identify individuals who may be unwell. In some airports, airlines have begun to carry out temperature checks with a handheld thermometer operated by a staff member. The process is extremely quick and accurate, which means no additional workload for the employees or long wait times for travellers. As the commercial aviation strives to rebuild the level of passengers experienced prior to COVID-19, whilst simultaneously doing their utmost to prevent virus, no one solution will provide the pathway. Temperature kiosks are undoubtedly a strong self-service solution which will form part of the strategy for many airlines and airports.
