Walkthrough gates or tunnels should be automatically activated using a passive infrared sensor to detect movement and measure a person’s body temperature (Fig.…”

“…The design of tunnel in such a way that it even allows a man ridded on two-wheelers. There are two type of tunnel has been developed (Biswal et al 2020 ): (i) a static type tunnel in which person stays inside the tunnel for 10–15 min and a disinfectant sprayed from the nozzle, (ii) a dynamic type of disinfectant tunnel where individuals walk in 16–25 ft long passage and disinfectant is sprayed throughout the path. The spray used in the tunnel is sodium hypochlorite solution (Biswal et al 2020 ).…”
