Limitations of temporal (forehead) temperature readings as a screening method for covid-19 by Luis Fernando Aragón-Vargas

“…Multiple public-health strategies have been attempted in different regions of the world as authorities try to control spread of the disease, while the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the pandemic proves to be extremely contagious. As many countries attempt the return to business as usual, in what has been called “a new normality”, a key element in the prevention of contagion is reasonable screening for infected people.A common, generalized screening method involves measuring body temperature to detect fever. …”
