None that are accurate- most need to be 2-3 inches from the forehead to read accurately. There are infrared thermometers than can read from 6-8 feet, but these usually run 8-10 thousand dollars apiece and are rarely used in public places
There has been a move from mercury to digital to infrared thermometers. While infrared thermometers offer the ability to skip touching any part of the patient’s body, they can generally read when held 1-2 inches or about 2-4 cm from the forehead.
There are laser thermometers that will do that, but are not going to be accurate.
