At the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, passengers disembark from their planes and head straight to the Covid-19 screening bay.
Automated cameras with inbuilt thermometers measure the temperatures of dozens of people in the socially distanced queue, displaying the results on a large screen. Their passports are also scanned to digitally verify their Covid-19 certificates.
