China facial recognition know-how tapped for Argentina’s virus battle

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina-Chinese facial recognition technology has become an ally in Argentina's battle against COVID-19, helping to promote social distancing and the use of face masks, and protecting train passengers by checking commuters for fever before boarding.

"This technology has the ability to detect if a person has symptoms of COVID-19, (such as) a temperature, and when the screen focuses on them, it can determine if they have a face mask on or not," Mitre Line's manager Ivan Kildoff said.

If their temperature isn't right, they won't be able to access the turnstiles to board the train.
