Description

The Ministry of Health Saint Kitts and Nevis can now carry out thermal facial recognition as it was gifted some devices by Taiwan.

VIVOTEK, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of ICT products, has gifted 17 facial recognition temperature scanners to the Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) 2

His Excellency Michael Lin, Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to St. Kitts and Nevis, presented the body temperature detection technology equipment to the government and hospital officials. He said the donation demonstrates the broader cooperation between the governments and people of Taiwan and St. Kitts and Nevis where it has expanded to include civil society partnerships. “These donated items are articles for body temperature measurement with the function of facial recognition. After being properly set up in different establishments in Nevis they will be practical tools for taking the body temperature of visitors, and will provide an extra layer of protection from COVID transmission 2
