Fever or not? Camera in shopping center Krimpen aan den IJssel provides a definite answer

Temperatures first, then shopping. This is currently the state of affairs in the Crimpenhof shopping center in Krimpen aan den IJssel. Immediately after entering, the visitor comes face to face with a device, a kind of tablet on a stand, that can determine the body temperature.

Manager Jan van der Wildt van Crimpenhof has installed six such devices, to increase the sense of security of the customers in this era of corona.

Own choice

He demonstrates how it works: he stands in front of the camera and keeps his face in view within the indicated contours. A friendly female voice calls him 'welcome'. Then the temperature is displayed. "It says: normal temperature, 35.5 degrees. The system measures my skin temperature."

The device has a small margin of 0.3 percent. This way your actual temperature can be slightly higher. Van der Wildt says that the camera is not a medical device and that people should of course consult a doctor in case of complaints.

The measurement in the shopping center is not mandatory. The intention is for visitors to turn around of their own accord if they have a fever. Crimpenhof does not do enforcement. "We count on people to have common sense and think, 'fever is the first indication of an infection, I'm leaving'."

Face recognition

Van der Wildt ran into the scanners during a visit to China. In that country, citizens are monitored in many ways, including with facial recognition cameras. That feature is also included in the Crimean device, but is not used, says the manager. "Then I am punishable and I am not waiting for that."

With a printout via a USB stick, he shows which data is registered. "It just says 'visitor'. You don't see pictures. And you see the temperature." The numbers are green; There are no people with an elevation or fever standing in front of the device today.

Nice shopping

Most visitors do not notice the device yet, but would rather try it out if asked. We do not meet anyone with a raise. "I already knew that. You can feel it yourself," says one. Another likes the confirmation that he does not have a fever.

An elderly couple does not care that it is a camera of Chinese origin. "I'm not bothered by that. I assume he doesn't record anything. He only gives you advice: go home quickly, or come shopping."

#Sweet

#Lief is a themed broadcast of Decennium Dick on Thursday evening March 4, 2021 ... Love is never sin, living without love is sin! That was one of the texts that was written down in chalk on the public road near the Mieras Church on Saturday. How can we find love again in Krimpen? How can we together ensure that peace is restored in our society? Where we can all live, work and live with pleasure? Living with pleasure is also one of the central points of the Youth Advisory Council of Krimpens-Belang. A group of 15 young people want to help local politicians with their ideas and will provide the Krimpens-Belang and thus actually the entire municipal council with input. Two members of the Youth Advisory Council were our guests tonight. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file .

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p...

Literary Happy Hour

After Erik's Tip, writer Marjo de Vroed sits down to tell something about herself and of course about her second book. Marjo de Vroed (1965) has lived in South Holland all her life and was a teacher at a Jenaplan school. She is married and has three grown daughters. When they were little, she regularly made up stories for them, which she brought to life with their hugs. She has loved writing since childhood. It started from group 4 with stories in the school newspaper and eventually resulted in adulthood in writing musicals for group 8 of her own school. In between, she wrote notebooks full of short stories and rhymes. And now children's books . First, of course, we have an overview of the Mega Single Top-100 and the announcement of the new LOKSCHIJF. Afterwards Ellen Bommeljé will be a guest for the item “Happy with the Bieb aan de IJssel”.
