Infrared Camera Detects Fever

At the arrival terminal of Tokyo’s Narita International Airport, right before the passport check-in desk, you’ll walk past a small station like this. It’s an infrared camera, a part of Japan’s ongoing war on germs, designed to spot people with fevers.

Depending on how high your body temperature is they might pull you aside for some questions. Depending on your the answers to those questions the Narita doctors might just give you an aspirin and some pamphlets, or they might send you to the nearest hospital for some tests.
