MIAL procures camera for screening passengers for H1N1 flu

Mumbai International Airport Ltd. (MIAL) has procured a thermal camera for screening of arriving passengers for H1N1 flu at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA). The camera was yesterday handed over to the government doctors who are conducting the screening process at the CSIA, which is the first airport in India to have a thermal camera for screening of H1N1 flu. On detecting a person with a body temperature above normal (above 98.6 degree Fahrenheit) the camera gives a beeping alarm and also captures the image, MIAL said in a release. Another camera is in the process of being procured and will be deployed soon.
