These devices have been put on trial at the Ghantoot entry point and in parts of Musaffah and Yas Island.
The scanners are being operated from a distance to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and are considered very effective for mass screening.
Authorities further said that any person identified as “potentially infected” must undergo a PCR test within 24 hours, which is free of charge.
