CDC recommends schools and businesses protect
their students/employees including health monitoring and
screening to avoid liability if contracting the virus.
TORONTO, May 11, 2021 /CNW/ - Predictiv AI Inc.
(TSXV: PAI) (OTC: INOTF) (FSE: 71TA) ("Predictiv AI" or the
"Company"), www.predictiv.ai, a software and solutions
provider in the artificial intelligence markets, is pleased to
announce its contactless temperature scanning system, ThermalPass
www.thermalpass.com, is experiencing an increase in interest and
demand from school districts across North
America, due to the successful installation of the system at
one of North Carolina's largest
school districts, Iredell-Statesville Schools, which is home to
more than 20,000 students.
Administrators at Iredell-Statesville Schools are calling the
ThermalPass a "game changer" when it comes to building confidence
and getting students back in class. School officials are also
turning to ThermalPass because it is non-invasive and compliant
with social distancing protocols.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
recommended that schools and businesses not only protect their
students and employees but also monitor employee health regularly.
Legal experts assert that entities that fail to maintain minimum
standards, including health monitoring and screening, could later
be subject to liability or workman's compensation issues if
teachers, students, service employees or visitors contract
coronavirus.
"No matter what happens in the future with vaccines, teachers
and students recognize that temperature scanning devices like
ThermalPass will remain a simple, common sense way to autonomously
identify and avoid having people with elevated temperatures enter
the more than 130,000 schools across the US," said Michael Lende, CEO of ThermalPass.
"Our outreach to school districts directly and through our
distributors has generated increased interest from administrators
struggling to find a mass screening device that is accurate, easy
to use and offers a painless layer of extra protection to keep
schools open and safe."
President Joe Biden's
$1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief package
is helping state agencies and school districts across the US reopen
and sustain the safe operation of schools. In addition, the CDC is
giving states $10 billion for
COVID-19 screening and testing supplies for K-12 teachers, staff,
and students, which is also helping to draw more awareness to the
benefits of the ThermalPass as a first-line-of-defense tool to flag
those with elevated body temperature, a major symptom of
Covid-19.
According to The New York
Times, some states, especially on the East Coast,
continue to struggle to make any progress in reducing coronavirus
cases. At the same time, governors are starting to relax
restrictions on businesses like bars, indoor gyms and casinos, and
many Americans are dining in newly reopened restaurants and booking
summer vacations.
Predictiv AI is not making any express or implied claims that
its product has the ability to eliminate, cure, or contain the
COVID-19 (or SARS-2 coronavirus) at this time.
ThermalPass is manufactured by SMRT Labs Inc., a company jointly
owned by AI Labs Inc., a subsidiary of Predictiv AI Inc. and
Commersive Solutions Corp.
