Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati, in collaboration with an Udaipur-based company, has developed a "first-of-its-kind" self-check kiosk that "instantly" detects and records Covid-19 symptoms such as high body temperature and low blood oxygen content. The fully-automated kiosk, developed according to World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines and costing between Rs 3.5 lakh and Rs 7.5 lakh depending on the specification and features, "takes only about 30 seconds" to check whether a person is safe to enter any premises or not.
