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."

Decade Dick: Almost all participants passed the traffic exam

Freek Bredius was a guest in Decennium Dick on behalf of Safe Traffic Netherlands department Krimpen aan den IJssel. He was able to tell us that 421 children participated in the practical traffic exam today. All but five children passed. Congratulations to all! The children who did not make it turned out to have cycled on the route with their hands free. The route started and ended at the Tuyter. Mayor Martijn Vroom was present to officially start the first class. 7.3 Kilometers was cycled and the children of the groups 7 and 8 passed all kinds of difficult intersections and traffic situations in Krimpen aan den IJssel. What was very annoying and difficult was that there have been young people who removed or turned around signs from the route. In addition, some plates are irreparably damaged. It was the first time that this happened on the day of the traffic test. Your browser does not support this audio player. You can download the file . Also in this edition of Decennium Dick a...

#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.

Possibly Fieldlab church service in Krimpen

Thursday evening April 1 in Decennium Dick in extended with Mayor Martijn Vroom to look back on the past week. Through Teams I spoke with the mayor tonight about the impasse, the polarization and how we hope to get out of this situation together. POLARIZATION This week for the churches 'The silent week' it is the week of Good Friday and the following Easter. But it was not quiet in Krimpen aan den IJssel. It was restless with a journalist being kicked in the stomach and a firework bomb that exploded near the 'Oude Gereformeerde Kerk in the Netherlands' popularly known as the Mieraskerk. There is polarization. The full city council issued a joint statement this week. The mayor calls it 'the basis for a lot of good that is yet to come'. But the mayor also realizes that more is needed to regain peace in Krimpen: 'Without outside help, I think we will not just get out as a village, so we have already discussed this road a number of times. had with the ministr...
