LEGAZPI CITY – The provincial government of Albay would purchase four units of thermal scanners to monitor symptoms of novel coronavirus on people arriving at the city.

Gov. Al Francis Bichara, said the scanners worth P616,000, would help the province contain the virus and prevent it from spreading. Thermal scanners detect fever, which was only one of several symptoms of nCoV infection.

The instruments would be placed at the Legazpi Domestic Airport and Legazpi Grand Bus terminal.

Two would be deployed to places where crowds gather.
