A Connecticut police department said it plans to begin testing a “pandemic drone” that could detect whether a person 190 feet away has a fever or is coughing.

The Westport Police Department and the town’s top elected official, First Selectman Jim Marpe, said the goal is to use the technology as part of a pilot program to “flatten the curve” of the pandemic.
