“As businesses, schools and offices begin to reopen after the COVID-19 crisis, it’s critical to safeguard employees, students and businesses,” said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. “We are privileged to be partnering with a technology-forward school district and awarded this first of its kind contract for our thermal cameras in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. The cameras will help the schools identify at-risk individuals before they interact with students, teachers and staff. We believe this use of our technology will be a crucial factor in the ongoing detection and mitigation efforts for the coronavirus and future epidemics, and be a strong growth driver to our core business.”
