The Coronavirus produces a range of symptoms including a runny nose, cough, sore throat and fever, that can lead to pneumonia, it can be spread through direct contact with an infected person
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is meeting today in Geneva Wednesday to debate whether a global emergency needs to be declared over the Wuhan Coronavirus.
Westminster has previously supplied their WG520 Fever, Coronavirus Flu, Ebola Fever Screening Detection Systems to Airports, Ports and Government facilities throughout the World when there has been outbreaks of Ebola, Common influenza, SARS and other flu variants such as Avian flu, Bird and Swine flu etc.
Thermal imaging as a fever screening tool is used as a first level mass screening test that is sensitive and accurate at identifying all individuals that are above normal temperature and have a systemic fever. The initial level screening, primary screening provides little or no inconvenience or interruption of movement for the majority of people being screened.
How does the Westminster WG520 system will detect the possible presence of these viruses?
The normal human body temperature ranges between 36.1°C to 37.2°C (97°F to 99°F).
The Westminster WG520 consists of a portable rapid deployable specialised high sensitivity Infra-Red Camera together a laptop and software. The system is usually deployed at passenger entry points at Airports etc, it is focused on the face of the target person, it will automatically pick up an increased temperature of the person.
The normal human body temperature ranges between 36.1°C to 37.2°C (97°F to 99°F).
The WG 520 system can be deployed between 1.8 metres (6’) to 10.6 metres (35’) from the target persons, it has been designed for screening the rapid movement of multiple people though large areas.
The benefits of covering passenger entry points with the WG 520 system are: –
Containment;
Deterrent to individuals considering travelling with un-diagnosed symptoms of fever;
Flexibility in escalation of screening protocols due to level of risk;
Reassurance for other travellers that could be exposed.
