Thailand Shop Installs Automatic Shut Doors to People Not wearing Masks
Oct 09, 2020
A shop in Thailand has installed a system to ensure that its doors are open only to customers who are wearing masks. Twitter user Niall Harbison shared a video of the shop which has a door fitted with a machine that scans the face of the customer to check for a mask and also records the temperature. The doors open only if the machine detects a mask and the customer doesn’t have a fever.
Check out the video here:
My local shops in Thailand. In 2 seconds scans my temperature and to see if wearing mask. Doors don’t open if not. 3 cases in 100+ days here. Removes awkward mask arguments for staff as well. pic.twitter.com/4Eac5fMsLR

Check out how people reacted to the video:
Only 30% of symptomatic cases have fever. This is not an effective screening tool, nor a replacement for masks.

Totally agree with no mask no entry

Still way too many people going into shops etc, with no masks on. Mostly men who don't want to wear them. Selfish behaviour.

I think this is pretty cool. but I wonder what would happen if you had a fever for a non-COVID reason and needed to buy some tylenol or something. hahah

???? I work at a hotel and this would remove SO MUCH STRESS from my life. I’m so exhausted arguing with people about masks and watching them outright ignore me.

Very inspirational. Sadly, even though USA is still recording +40k new cases a day, this video would have absolutely no effect on a maga

This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. We need this in the US and everywhere.

This is what it means to understand that we live in a shared society and everything isn't "me, me, me" all the damn time.
