Turkey’s parliamentary building complex will now be checking visitors’ body temperatures with a no-contact forehead thermometer, parliament administrator Erkan Haberal said in an official statement March 30.
While pedestrians who visit parliament are subject to scanning with a thermal camera, parliament’s COVID-19 Crisis Management Commission ruled that visitors arriving in vehicles will also be subject to body temperature checks using no-contact thermometers.
While the commission’s decision targets only visitors, lawmakers will also be eligible to have their body temperature checked upon entrance.
