Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Sam, still working from home, as you can hear.
But for many, the return to the office has begun.
And to make things safe, new thermal cameras are being installed in some workplaces,
they measure body temperature to screen for coronavirus.
After weeks of working at home, the return to the office is slowly getting underway in a number of countries.
But workplaces are having to change in this coronavirus era.
Lots of companies are rushing to install technology to make offices and workplaces safer.
Sensors that monitor our movements, smartphone apps that alert us if we get too close to workmates and even devices that take our temperature could all become the new normal.
That's a phrase we hear a lot these days,
meaning a previously unfamiliar situation that has become usual and expected.
In this program, we'll take a look at how this technology works and ask if it really is the answer we're looking for.
But first, today's quiz question.
The thermal cameras I mentioned screen for coronavirus by recording skin temperature in the area of the body which most closely resembles the internal body temperature.
But which area is that?
Is it A, the I, B, the ear or C, the nose?
I'll say A, the I.
Okay Sam, we'll find out later if you were right.
