Over the past three years, the virus has been spreading worldwide. It has become the biggest challenge for many countries.

Fever is a common symptom for virus infection and contact among persons is one of way for virus spreading. Infrared thermometer is also called non contact thermometer. Because of its non contact and rapid temperature measurement for human body,infrared thermometer become a perfect tools to fight against virus. It’s widely used in shopping mall,school,companies and airport. However is infrared thermometer safe? There is a fear that infrared thermometer may cause damage in eye and eye vision.

As we learned from institutions of test and inspection,the infrared thermometer get temperature value by analysing the infrared ray sent from human body,not by using a laser beam. What’s more The FDA mentions that infrared thermometers "can be used to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and minimize the risk of spreading disease" and doesn’t say that it will do damage to human being health. Thus when measured at temperature by a infrared thermometer,we don’t need to be worried.
