New thermal scanner installed at RGIA,Hyderabad

All international arrival passengers and airline crew mandatorily have to undergo health screening by the Airport Health Officers to identify symptomatic passengers at Hyderabad International Airport to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.

With an objective of enhancing the efficacy of the screening process, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in coordination with Asian Development Bank, has provided Hyderabad International Airport with a state-of-the-art Thermal Scanner – a Mass Fever Screening System, funded by UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund).

The new thermal scanner at Hyderabad International Airport is a ceiling mounted Mass Fever Screening System which is capable of scanning, detecting and tracking



febrile persons with elevated skin temperature. 

The system automatically adjusts and adapts to the surrounding ambient temperature without any human intervention. With its Intuitive User Interface and Dual-Displays (Day Camera + Infra-Red) it provides easy identification of passengers with elevated temperature, while simplifying operations and minimizing handling. The new thermal scanner imparts more control to the Hyderabad Airport Health Organisation, along with the existing thermal scanners at the International Arrivals.

Hyderabad International Airport has handled close to 40,000 international arrivals passengers during the Covid-19 pandemic from May 2020 till date.
