China has turned to thermal drones to help fight the coronavirus outbreak that are capable for scanning potentially infected villagers.

The unmanned aerial vehicles, which are equipped with thermal imaging technology, can read the body temperatures in the sky with high readings suggesting infection.

The operator can receive accurate reading from the screen, which helps to control the outbreak at an early stage.

They can also send them warnings or urgent reminders through the speakers on the drones.

A spokesperson for the company behind the drones in Fuxin city of Liaoning province in northeastern China said: "We have two types of drones qualified to assist monitoring the outbreak – one equipped with speaker and one equipped with thermal imaging.
