The Public Health Ministry is planning to propose the end of the body temperature scan for travellers at airports due to the improving Covid-19 situation.
The ministry would propose that the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) drop the requirement for airports to use thermoscan cameras to detect temperatures of passengers.
The proposed end of the thermoscans will be applied to public places, an official said, without going into details.
The latest move came amid the relaxation of restrictions after the number of new cases and deaths dropped sharply.
On Monday, the country registered the lowest number of new infections in 13 months and the fewest fatalities since February.
The ministry said the coronavirus was inching towards the final stage of the pandemic, at which point it will be declared an endemic disease. Most new cases were asymptomatic, making the devices less effective.
Thermoscans were installed at airports to screen passengers after Covid-19 began spreading in the country.
