Quarantine is the word of 2020 along with isolation and social distancing. These three terms have made life a bit difficult but considering the current situation of coronavirus outbreak, these are life-saving. Within 2-3 months, the virus outbreak which originated in China has held the world captive. India, thankfully got this infection a little later which gave us enough time to research and prepare about dealing with this global pandemic. As the government took the strict decision of quarantine and 3-weeks lockdown, the problem is likely to get under control soon. Awareness and preventive steps have helped in making this outbreak less scary than it was a week before.
Thermometer Gun is the weapon
If there weren’t these guns, it would have been impossible to identify the infected without physical contact and control the outbreak. India took immediate steps of thermal screening and checking at the airport which helped in sending the suspects in isolation. Otherwise, the situation would have been worse considering the population of the country.
Over 180 countries are currently vulnerable to the COVID-19 epidemic and the infected patients' number has reached over 3 million. Every country has its own way of stopping this outbreak. The Indian government took two major steps- thermal screening of passengers at airports and lockdown. Thermal screening is done with the help of a thermometer gun which measures body temperature without physical contact. This is the main weapon against coronavirus. This gun works through infrared light and detects the body temperature.
