New Delhi. As fast as the coronavirus is spreading, preparations are being made to deal with it and avoid it at the same speed. While researchers and scientists around the world are busy making vaccines and medicines for coronavirus, technicians around the world are busy making robots and other equipment that can help in the fight against the global pandemic. This time, a startup of three IIT alumni has created a special device, from whose sight an infected person roaming in a public place will not be able to hide even in a crowd of thousands. This special drone will not only identify the infected person, but will also immediately inform the police and health department officials about it.
Checking the temperature will help in isolating the infected
Equipped with an infrared camera, this drone made by IIT alumni in Hyderabad will help in identifying and isolating a person with symptoms of COVID-19 in crowded areas. Actually, this drone will take the body temperature of every person present in the crowd and identify the one who has fever. It is being said that this drone can help a lot in controlling the speed of spread of infection after the relaxation in lockdown. At the same time, after the lockdown is completely lifted, it will prove to be an important weapon against the global pandemic. Prem Kumar Vishalavath, CEO of Marut Drone, said that the advantage of thermal screening with this drone is that one does not need to go to each person and check his temperature. With its help, a person with fever standing in the crowd can be identified and his COVID-19 test can be done.

The results obtained from the drone have proved to be accurate every time in the test
Marut Drone claims that airborne infrared cameras have been tested in several ways for thermal screening. Every time the results obtained from it have proved to be accurate. The results of airborne thermal screening can be sent to the police and health department team in real time. An infected person identified in the crowd can be immediately isolated. With the help of drones, a person can be tracked up to a limited distance. At the same time, a person can also be warned to stop or move away from the crowd through the loud speaker present in it. During the lockdown, Hyderabad and Karimnagar police have used drones in the style of Akashvani.

Drones are being used to spray sanitizer in Telangana
Vishalavath said that the startup is already working in collaboration with the Urban Development Department of the Telangana government. To avoid mosquito infestation in Hyderabad, anti-larval chemicals were sprayed using drones on the banks of lakes and garbage dumps. In the era of the global pandemic, sanitizers are now being sprayed in 8 districts of Telangana using this technology: this is saving money, time and effort. The startup company is also working on a project to deliver medicines to remote areas. The company claims that airborne thermal screening during Unlock-1 can help the most in controlling Covid-19.
