WATCH: Smartphone scanners screen people for Covid-19 in Abu Dhabi
Authorities in Abu Dhabi have shared a video showing how a new app which screens people for Covid-19 works.
The technology, which is being trialled in three areas of Abu Dhabi, appears to scan people for the presence of viral particles.
In the video, a mobile phone is held in front a person's face briefly before a message flashes up to say they are negative, reading “the presence of Covid-19 viral nucleotides was not detected”.
