In order to protect the police personnel for encountering the infection, a company based in Delhi's Preet Vihar has made India's first land-to-land thermal detection equipment. The equipment will help the police personnel to detect a person's temperature even at a distance of 5-10 meters, thereby ensuring the safety of the frontline warriors and enforcing social distancing.
