In parallel, shops are asked to ensure a safe reopening in adherence with the requirements coming from health authorities, e.g. that people need to maintain a social distance of at least one meter.

Typically, governments and organizations are faced with the following challenges:

• Which part of my city, shop or premises are most crowded and when?
• How do I make sure my building or shop doesn't get over-crowded?
• How do I know when people are getting too close to each other?
• How do I address people and avoid confrontation or incidents at the entrance to a store?
• How can video technology help manage these challenges and provide a safe route out of lock-down?
