Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has unveiled a smart detector, made for identifying coronavirus-infected surfaces and individuals from a 100-meter distance, Trend reports citing Mehr News Agency.

"The smart system called Mostaan, can detect coronavirus infection instantly, and it can be further upgraded,"Salami said.
"The system was designed by the Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences (BMSU) and Basij science and technology headquarters," he added.
"The necessary permits will be obtained in the near future after our interaction with the Health Ministry," he said.
