The Malaysian police have introduced a technologically advanced idea to use drones to decrease the spread of Covid-19 in the country.

Police officers are using drones to identify people with high body temperatures in public areas. These drones can detect high temperatures as high as 20 meters above the ground.

This method has been adopted after the country's health director-general warned that most of the new infections were a result of unknown contacts.

Malaysia is currently under a strict lockdown, following a surge in Covid-19 cases in the country. Under the recent restriction, only two people from a house can step outdoors to buy essentials, consult medical help or engage in a non-contact sport. Schools and shopping malls continue to stay closed while manufacturing units have been allowed to operate.
