SEOUL, Aug. 9 (Korea Bizwire) — New department stores are introducing cutting-edge COVID-19 quarantine systems.
Lotte Department Store Dongtan, set to open on Aug. 20 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, has set up an air shower facility at major entrances that blows off dust and particles as visitors enter the building.
The company also introduced an artificial intelligence (AI)-based thermal device that doesn’t require each visitor to measure their body temperature at the entrance.
Visitors don’t need to press buttons when using the elevator. All buttons are activated simply by placing one’s hand close to a sensor that automatically detects and activates each button, and minimizes physical contact.
‘Art and Science,’ the new Shinsegae Department Store branch in central provincial city of Daejeon opening on Aug. 27, has coated elevator buttons, escalator handrails and washroom fixtures with anti-virus materials.
