A number of schools in Beijing are trialling temperature-testing bracelets in a bid to control the coronavirus pandemic.
The temperature bands are monitored by schools and parents via an app, according to local media.
Schools have been asked to monitor the data and implement a response plan if a student has a fever.
A teacher at a high school in the city told Global Times that the bracelets are similar to a fitness wristwatch. Students have been asked to wear the device 24 hours a day.
Over the past few weeks schools across the country have been reopening with stricter health and safety measures.
China has deployed thermal cameras in public areas and most places require people to show an app with colour ratings that determine a person’s infection risk based on their travel history.
A new cluster outbreak appeared in Wuhan over the weekend. The northeastern city of Shulan was placed under lockdown on Sunday due to a number of infections.
