The new technology was introduced as the country’s lockdown was due to expire on April 18.
The helmets would make “an alert sound and issue audio warnings if they detect a temperature rise above the normal range,” WAM reported.
As of April 16, UAE has 5,365 confirmed cases of the virus and 33 deaths.
