The DuThermX body temperature measurement system, from Chicago-based Dubak Electrical Group, allows students and staff to enter a building while following safety protocols, according to a press release.

Several schools have been using a combination of the DuThermX Mobile Cart or DuThermX Kiosk Series.

The contact-free system detects elevated body temperatures as large numbers of people enter facilities. The DuThermX system uses thermal camera technology and can be integrated with existing security systems.

Elementary and middle school students in Pleasantdale Schools in La Grange and Burr Ridge, Illinois, Holy Family High School in Brookfield, Colorado and Argo Community High School in Summit, Illinois, have been using the DuThermX Mobile Carts and Kiosks.

"We added a mid-day screen in the gym for elementary students as they enter for snack time," Dave Palzet, superintendent at Pleasantdale School District 107, said in the release. "The additional layer of checking has helped alleviate fears."

Palzet said the temperature screenings have identified a couple of asymptomatic cases in elementary school children who then are isolated and appropriate safety measures are taken.
