As businesses and individuals have begun taking extra precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic, non-contact thermometers have become more common. Here's what you need to know about these devices.
Because the coronavirus can be spread through contact with others, many health care facilities and businesses have begun screening for symptoms using methods that cause as little contact as possible.
An elevated temperature is one of the early warning signs of COVID-19 infection, so non-contact thermometers provide a safer way of screening people for possible coronavirus symptoms.

Ada loves a good parade.
Last Saturday's parade was more than a "good" parade. It was a well-deserved one. The Ada High School class of 2020, robbed of many spring and end-of-year traditions took the streets.
And, the result was lots of fun, loud horns honking, signs and waves and, well, you can get away with this kind of celebrating in a small town like Ada.
Christine North photographed the entire parade and shares it with Icon viewers. We've made screen shots posted below.
Evelyn R. “Myrtle” Krofft, 95, passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2020, at 1:35 p.m. at Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center, Lima.
She was born on Jan. 23, 1925, in Detroit, Michigan to the late Walter and Ethel (Howe) Wolff. On May 31, 1947, Evelyn married Robert M. Krofft and he preceded her in death.
Hardin County Sheriff officers responded to a call that livestock were on the roadway south of Ada on at 6:51 a.m. this morning, according to the Ada police log.
Cattle were reported loose on the north side of State Route 309 between the Ada and Alger turn off.
The complete sheriff log for May 28 and 29 is attached.
In cooperation with Ada schools, the Ada Icon will post each of the Ada High School class of 2020 seniors in the spotlight. Victoria Ross is today's senior in the spotlight.
“The Electoral College continues to be perhaps the most maligned feature in our Constitution. It will be front and center Wednesday when the Supreme Court hears arguments concerning a seemingly small but essential part of the complicated process we use to select the president and vice-president of the United States.”
Ada resident and Ohio Northern University professor of political science wrote the above statement as an opinion column published earlier this month posted on CNN.
