From the statement of American scientists of the Advanced Medical Solutions International company, it became known that their new invention, a contactless scanner, is capable of detecting the coronavirus. A new device called Covid Hunter can detect COVID-19 with 99% accuracy from a distance of 2 m, and it can also be adjusted to detect the virus mutations. The developers claim that their invention radically changes the way SARS-CoV-2 is detected — based on their words, the results are indeed amazing.

The device looks like a simple hand-held scanner that can detect whether a person or object is infected with the coronavirus disease, along with the virus’s presence in the air from a distance of up to 2 m and with 99% accuracy. To get the information, it will be enough to aim the device at an object, and the results will soon be displayed. Glass and other transparent materials do not distort the results, so the scanning can be accomplished even through them.
