Masks are an essential safety gear we use nowadays.

Some people think wearing the mask is a necessity, while some do not feel the same. To prevent the spread of coronavirus, some local shops in Thailand have now come up with new technology to check if a customer is wearing a mask while entering a shop.

It's a scanner which scans the face of a person while entering the shop for a mask. And, if they don't have a mask on, the automated doors of the place won't open. The scanner also checks the body temperature.
