This is done to add another level of safety measures and improve overall health protection by measuring one's body temperature at a distance. Using [Dermalog's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biometric-system) fever detection camera, it decreases risk of contracting viruses including COVID-19. When customers enter the mall's premises, their temperature is measured as quick as one second from a distance of 2 meters. Additionally, the company uses its [biometric knowledge to scan faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hr-face-check) and release an alert if one's body temperature marks a fever. The technology system can also automatically detect masks and the lack of masks to be informed that it is mandatory in order to enter the shopping center.
