Malaysian police are using drones which can check temperatures from as
high as 20 meters above ground in the latest example of coronavirus
population control.

The drones alert authorities if someone has a high temperature reading
by emitting a red light, according to Bernama, Malaysia’s state news
agency.

“Malaysian police have previously warned they will use drones to
enforce earlier travel restrictions, with officers in some areas also
stating they would carry out surprise home visits to ensure people
were following rules,” reports the Guardian.

There have been numerous previous examples of authorities deploying
surveillance drone technology to enforce COVID-19 rules.

Authorities in Spain have used surveillance drones to make sure people
who visit beaches are complying with social distancing regulations.

In Brussels, Belgium, police used drones fitted with loudspeakers to
bark orders to people to “stay at home.”

    Police drones are being used in Brussels to warn the public that
lockdown is in force, and that social distancing regulations must be
adhered to.

In Australia, more expensive drones were used to catch people not
wearing masks while also scanning for vehicles that were parked more
than 5km from their owner’s home.

    Police are preparing to launch their aerial arsenal as part of a
crackdown on COVID rule breakers. High powered drones will be used to
find people not wearing masks, and cars too far from home.

In the UK, authorities were blasted for using surveillance drones to
keep tabs on dog walkers in remote areas to check if they were hiking
too far from home.

    Despite posts yesterday highlighting issues of people still
visiting the #PeakDistrict despite government guidance, the message is
still not getting through. @DerPolDroneUnit have been out at beauty
spots across the county, and this footage was captured at #CurbarEdge
last night. pic.twitter.com/soxWvMl0ls
